US Hulk Hogan Dead at 71

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/24/hulk-hogan-dead/

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.

story developing

RIP

Hogan didn’t make the WCW big, the NWO arc did and that started with the Outsiders and breaking unspoken rules which brought new interest and entertainment. Then Hogan used that, made about himself again, pulled in every sycophantic asshole willing to dick ride him, and it ended in the dirt like a victim of Jimmy Snooka.

NWO is Hogan, Nash and Hall. Everyone else is a secondary to them. It did start with the Outsiders but Hogan played a huge role in taking it to where it got.

It's fine not to like Hogan but calm down. You're acting like it's personal he was a dick.

I don’t think having a different opinion is ‘making it personal’ lol calm down. Just a wrestling fan back in my youth that has opinions about it.

A white sayer of the word nigger has died show some respect plebs.

I'm going to say Stephen King is the next to go. There's a lot of movies and shows coming out this year based on his books.

Won't be a big loss since he's been already spiritually dead since he got run over by that van.

Celebrities dying in there early to mid 70's the f is going on? Broken Heart? Covid Shots? Massive amounts of drug use over there life time? Steroid use? all the Above?

RIP Ozman RIP Hulkster . . .

When you start knit picking examples of how Hulk is a dick it's clearly not just having opinions. There's an axe to grind and an agenda to keep picking at it that way. It's like you're looking to get one over on someone not just discuss the topic.

The somehow being that DDP is apparently a damn miracle worker. If any wrestler could qualify for Sainthood…

I won't take anything away from DDP, he is a miracle worker, but I also think Jake crossed over into Keith Richards territory, and all the drugs have preserved him a bit.

He shouldn't have made it to when he got in with DDP and died in the early 2000's.

If that’s what you want to believe okay. Personally this is pretty derailing I think and we should probably stfu and do a brawl to the back before the crowd turns.

Cardiovascular issues that stem from steroid use is probably the number one killer of pro wrestlers, especially those from Hogan's era. I'm honestly amazed he lived as long as he did considering how juiced up he was.

Jeff Hardy might be a junkie, but he's never been on the sauce. I don't see him making it to 71, though.

You think Hardy wasn’t on roids?


I mean jesus christ, with the amount of drugs and concussions in his system, he could cough wrong once and pop an artery in his brain.

I will miss him. One of the biggest icons of my childhood. Rest in Peace HH.

Nature Boy isn't really in the best of shape either.

Too bad Hulk decided on skipping out Wrestling in Best Korea.

Total Gawker victory.

Yeah, was also thinking that. Lex Luger was also a big steroid user and now he's all fucked up, others the same way.

Hulk was only one year older than me. However, have never used steroids, no alcohol since 1989.

Don't think Ric Flair is doing that great. Dory Funk, Jr. is still around. Jack Brisco passed during open-heart surgery.

Wouldn't be surprised if President Trump attended the funeral.

Tomorrow isn't guaranteed to any of us, so make the best of each day.
