Wrestling Icon Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71, Leaving Unforgettable Legacy
Wrestling fans worldwide are mourning the loss of legendary WWE superstar Hulk Hogan, who has reportedly passed away at the age of 71. Born Terry Bollea in 1953, Hogan was arguably the most recognizable figure in professional wrestling history, dominating the sport throughout the 1980s and 90s before venturing into film and reality television.
Hogan’s career soared after joining the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) in 1979, famously headlining the inaugural WrestleMania in New York in 1985 alongside Mr. T. His popularity extended far beyond the ring, with appearances in films like “Mr. Nanny” and “Suburban Commando,” solidifying his status as a cultural icon.
A two-time inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame (2005 and 2020 as part of the NWO), Hogan’s career also saw controversy, including his temporary removal from the Hall in 2015 following the emergence of a racist slur. Despite his reinstatement in 2018, the incident left a lasting impact, with some WWE superstars expressing difficulty in moving past his remarks.
In recent years, Hogan remained in the public eye, appearing at political rallies and his most recent WWE appearance to promote his beer brand. His passing marks the end of an era for professional wrestling, leaving behind an indelible mark on the sport and its millions of fans.
