Hulk Hogan, one of the biggest names in wrestling history, has sadly died at the age of 71.
According to TMZ Sports, medical workers rushed to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida, early Thursday morning after he had a heart problem. He was taken away in an ambulance on a stretcher, and police were also seen at the house.
Just a few weeks ago, Hogan’s wife, Sky Daily, said he was doing fine and not in a coma, even though people online were worried. He had surgery on his neck in May, which made many fans fear he was very sick.
Hulk Hogan’s real name was Terry Eugene Bollea. He became a superstar in the 1980s when he joined the WWF (now WWE). With his strong muscles, fun catchphrases, and bright yellow outfit, he made wrestling super popular around the world. Kids and adults loved him.
Hogan didn’t just wrestle—he was also in movies, TV shows, and ads. “Hulkamania” was the name fans gave to the excitement he brought everywhere he went.
In 1996, Hogan surprised everyone by becoming a bad guy in wrestling. He joined a group called the New World Order (NWO) and called himself “Hollywood Hogan.” This move gave his career new life and helped wrestling become even more popular.
Throughout his career, Hogan won many championships, was in lots of WrestleMania main events, and was put into the WWE Hall of Fame two times—once by himself, and once with the NWO.
