Hulk Hogan is dead. The iconic, but divisive, pro wrestling legend was 71.
According to TMZ, medic were sent to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida on Thursday (July 24) morning to deal with a “cardiac arrest.”
Hogan came to fame as one of the WWE (initially the WWF’s) most popular wrestlers, eventually becoming world famous in the process.
But in Hogan’s later years, he reputation took a massive hit. His tendency to expouse racists views and getting caught liberally using the N-word on video made him persona non grata in the culture. He even apologized, claiming that he wasn’t racist, and it didn’t go like he expected. That was back in 2015, so it was no surprise that in 2024 he was invited to ham it up at the Republican National Convention.
