US Hulk Hogan Dead at 71


Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71 years old, TMZ Sports has learned.

Medics were dispatched to the 71-year-old WWE legend's Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning ... with operators stating it was regarding a "cardiac arrest."

We're told a slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan's home ... and the icon was carried on a stretcher and into an ambulance.

Just a few weeks ago, Hogan's wife, Sky, denied rumors he was in a coma ... stating his heart was "strong" as he recovered from surgeries.

We broke the story last month -- there were rumblings Hogan was on his "deathbed" ... but we were told at the time he was just dealing with the symptoms of a neck procedure he underwent in May.

Hulk Hogan was the first celebrity I had a random encounter with. I was about 12, in a grocery store, and saw him in the meat department in a Gold's gym shirt, larger than life. The huge wrestling and Hulkamaniac I was, all I could do was shout out "Hulk rules!" He just smiled and said, "Right on, little brother," gave me a high five, and kept on shopping.

Also, he dropped the leg on Gawker, so he's the champion forever just for that. Rest in peace, Hulkster.
 
It happens in threes. Interesting to see who’ll be next.

Literally said this about 10 seconds ago to my coworker

That's because you're both fucking retarded. People die all the fucking time and over the course of a week of course you're going to see a bunch of people die that were a big thing in the 90s (which was 30 years ago)

You're just like those tea leaf niggers who think everything is a fucking sign.

To stay on topic though, Hogan is the greatest wrestler to ever live and Hogan vs Rock at Wrestlemania X8 is the greatest wrestling match of all time.
