According to TMZ Sports, legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71.

Early on Thursday morning, medics were sent to the 71-year-old WWE legend’s residence in Clearwater, Florida.

According to operators, the reason for the call was a “cardiac arrest.”

According to reports, the icon was taken on a stretcher and into an ambulance,

and numerous police cars and emergency medical technicians were positioned outside Hogan’s house.

Hogan’s wife, Sky, refuted reports that he was in a coma just a few weeks ago, saying his heart was “strong” while he recuperated from surgery.

There were rumours that Hogan was on his “deathbed”

when we broke the story last month, but we were informed that he was only coping with the aftereffects of a neck surgery the previous May.

Professional wrestling was turned into a family-friendly sport by Hulk. Wrestling had a relatively small following prior to Hulk. Children and their parents were captivated by Hulk’s ring antics, which elevated the sport.

By founding the New World Order (NWO) in 1996, Hulk changed his persona from hero to villain and became Hollywood’s Hulk Hogan. It made him and professional wrestling even more well-known.

In 2005, Hulk became a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. Following an incident involving racist remarks made while he was being surreptitiously videotaped during a sexual encounter, he was dismissed in 2015. After Gawker shared the video, Hulk filed a lawsuit, which he eventually won.

In 2020, Hulk received his second WWE induction, this time as a member of NWO.

Hulk had an amazingly successful movie career, beginning in 1982, with “Rocky III,” playing the iconic character Thunderlips. He also starred in “No Holds Barred,” “Suburban Commando” and “Mr. Nanny.”

There’s still more… In the popular VH1 reality show “Hogan Knows Best,” Hogan costarred with his family members, Brooke, Nick, and Linda.

RIP
