The legend of the Hulk Hogan struggle died at the age of 71. According to TMZ Sports, doctors were sent to Hogan’s Clearwater, Florida, early Thursday morning in response to a reported cardiac arrest. He was transported to hospital, but died later.
Born Terry Gene Bollea on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia, Hogan has become a global icon of professional struggle. He made his debut with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1979 and quickly got importance with his charismatic personality and his signature sentence, “What is Hulkamania unleashed?” Over the years, Hogan has titled many events from Wrestlemania and has played a central role in the transformation of WWF into a global entertainment power.
Beyond the fight, Hogan ventured into the theater, with films like “Rocky III” and “No Holds Bard”, and appeared in his own reality TV show, “Hogan Knows Best”. He was inducted at the WWE renown temple twice – first in 2005 and again in 2020 as part of the faction of the new world order.
Hogan is survived by his wife, Sky Daily, and their two children. His passes mark the end of an era of professional struggle, and tributes of fans and wrestlers flock all over the world.
