Wrestling Mourns the Loss of a Legend: Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71
July 24, 2025 — WWE Universe in Mourning
The wrestling world is in shock as one of its most iconic figures, Hulk Hogan, has passed away at the age of 71. Born Terry Bollea, Hogan reportedly suffered a sudden heart attack, leaving behind a legacy that transcended the ring and inspired generations of fans worldwide.
A Legacy Larger Than Life
From the moment Hogan stepped into the squared circle, he was unstoppable. Known for his charisma, towering physique, and electrifying energy, Hulk Hogan became the face of professional wrestling during the 1980s and early 1990s. His signature catchphrases — “Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?” — and dramatic poses made him a household name far beyond the wrestling world.
Whether it was facing off against Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III or shocking fans by forming the New World Order (nWo) in WCW, Hogan continually reinvented himself while maintaining his magnetic presence.
The Final Bell
Hogan had reportedly been privately battling health issues, including leukemia and atrial fibrillation. His sudden passing shocked fans and colleagues alike. While authorities have opened an investigation, preliminary reports suggest his death was related to known medical conditions.
Social media has been flooded with tributes from fellow wrestlers, celebrities, and fans, honoring a man who made Hulkamania a global phenomenon. Messages of remembrance have poured in from Ric Flair, John Cena, The Rock, and countless others.
More Than a Wrestler
Beyond the ring, Hulk Hogan was a cultural icon. He starred in films like Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny, hosted reality shows, and made countless talk show appearances. Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, and again in 2020 as a founding member of the nWo, Hogan’s influence stretched far beyond titles and matches.
He inspired millions to train hard, say their prayers, and eat their vitamins, becoming a symbol of strength, perseverance, and showmanship — the superhero of wrestling’s golden era.
Remembering the Immortal One
Though Hulk Hogan’s physical presence is gone, his legacy will endure forever. Every leg drop, every pose, and every roaring chant of “Hogan! Hogan!” will echo in arenas and hearts for decades.
As the WWE Universe bids farewell to one of its greatest heroes, one truth remains: there will never be another Hulk Hogan.
Rest in power, Hulkster. You ran wild, and we’ll never forget it.
