Wrestling legend Terry Gene Bollea, popularly known as Hulk Hogan, has died at the age of 71. According to TMZ and other reports, medics responded to his Clearwater, Florida, home early Thursday after being called for a cardiac arrest.
Hogan was then placed on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance. Despite recent concerns over his health—including a neck procedure earlier this year- his wife, Sky, had previously stated his heart remained “strong”.

Hogan began his wrestling journey in the American Wrestling Association but rose to superstardom in the 1980s with WWE (then WWF). Known for his charisma, signature mustache, and catchphrases like “Whatcha gonna do, brother?”, he became a global sensation.
He later joined WCW, where he helped form the iconic New World Order (nWo) faction, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential figures in wrestling history.
