WWE icon Hulk Hogan dies at 71

The WWE  legend Hulk Hogan, has passed away at the age of 71, on July 24, 2025, after a cardiac arrest that took place at his house in Clearwater, Florida.

According to police, when the wrestler arrived at the hospital, he was certified dead some minutes later, which was later corroborated by the WWE officials that indicated the emergency services had been called at about 9:51 a.m.

His rise to fame came in the 1980s and he became the face of ‘Hulkamania.’ Hogan became a six-time WWE World Champion, headlining the very first WrestleMania in 1985.

With his persona of a WWE character donning a bandana, a blonde handlebar mustache, and ripped tank tops, he became a pop culture icon and helped WWE reach new heights of popularity.

Hogan has acted in movies like Rocky III and was a cast in the reality show Hogan Knows Best.

Alongside those ventures, he established a wrestling organization called Real American Freestyle, where he took the role of the commissioner until his sudden demise.
