Hulkamania has left the building. Hulk Hogan—the wrestling legend with the golden locks, booming voice, and larger-than-life persona—has died at 70.
Born Terry Bollea, Hogan passed away at his Florida home after suffering a cardiac arrest, according to his manager.
From body-slamming Andre the Giant to starring in Rocky III, Hogan wasn’t just a wrestler—he was a movement.
A six-time WWE champ and Hall of Famer, he helped catapult professional wrestling into mainstream culture.
“Hogan helped WWE go global,” the company said in a statement.
What Was His Legacy?
His fame even extended to TV and film, with shows like Hogan Knows Best and cameos in everything from Baywatch to Gremlins 2.
In recent years, Hogan remained in the spotlight—this time in politics.
A vocal Trump supporter, he appeared at rallies and even tore his shirt off to reveal a “Trump 2024” tee at the Republican National Convention.
Yet his legacy wasn’t without controversy.
A leaked tape in 2015 briefly ousted him from the WWE Hall of Fame, though he was reinstated in 2018.
Fellow stars like Ric Flair and The Undertaker called his passing a massive loss. “He was always there for me,” said Flair.
In the end, Hogan didn’t just entertain—he defined an era. And now? The ring feels a little emptier without him.
