Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, has died at the age of 71 following a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Emergency responders were called on the morning of July 24, 2025, but despite their efforts, Hogan was pronounced dead at 11:17 AM. Authorities have confirmed there was no foul play involved.

Just weeks earlier, Hogan’s wife, Sky Hogan, denied rumors that he was in a coma, stating that his heart was “strong” following recent neck surgery. His sudden death has shocked fans and the wrestling world alike.

Hogan rose to fame in the 1980s, becoming a global icon through his charismatic persona and legendary matches. His 1984 victory over the Iron Sheik launched the era of “Hulkamania,” and his heel turn in 1996 with the New World Order (NWO) cemented his legacy. A two-time WWE Hall of Fame inductee, Hogan also made a name in film and television, appearing in Rocky III, Mr. Nanny, and Hogan Knows Best.

He recently helped launch Real American Freestyle, an amateur wrestling league set to debut in August. WWE and countless fans have paid tribute, remembering Hogan as one of the most influential figures in wrestling history. His legacy will endure forever.
