Hulk Hogan Passes Away
HULK HOGAN – One of the most iconic figures in professional wrestling, has passed away at the age of 71. Known in real life as Terry Bollea, Hogan died in the early hours of July 24, 2025, at his home in Clearwater, Florida, after suffering cardiac arrest.
The sad news was confirmed by his manager, Linda Bose, through a post on his official Instagram account. The statement shared that the world had lost a true legend. Hogan passed peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. His team asked for privacy for his family and friends as they go through this difficult time. They also encouraged fans to remember the joy, inspiration, and unforgettable moments Hogan brought into people’s lives for over 40 years. Though he is gone, his memory will always remain.
Hulk Hogan first joined the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE) in 1983. Just one year later, he made history by winning his first WWF Championship. He defeated The Iron Sheik on January 23, 1984, at Madison Square Garden—a victory that sparked the rise of “Hulkamania.” This became a huge movement in wrestling and even pop culture during the 1980s.
Thanks to his larger-than-life appearance, bright red and yellow outfit, and exciting personality, Hogan quickly became the top star of professional wrestling. He headlined eight out of the first nine WrestleMania events. One of the most unforgettable moments in wrestling history happened at WrestleMania III in 1987, when Hogan lifted and slammed the 520-pound Andre the Giant—a moment still talked about by fans today.
Over the years, Hulk Hogan became more than just a wrestler. He was a symbol of strength, energy, and motivation. His message—telling fans to train hard, say their prayers, and believe in themselves—inspired millions. While the wrestling world is mourning his loss, his impact will never be forgotten. Hulk Hogan’s legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of fans everywhere.
