Hulk Hogan was a personality greater than life that rose to high heights in sports entertainment and bent a successful career in the ring to an iconic outside it.
Hogan died after suffering a possible “cardiac arrest” in his Clearwater home, Florida, TMZ Sports reported Thursday. Emergency staff allegedly rushed to his home and he was seen by it in an ambulance.
WWE released a statement later.
“WWE is sorry to learn the WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan is dead,” the company wrote. “One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures Hogan helped WWE gain global recognition in the 1980s.
“WWE is expanding his condolance to Hogan’s family, friends and fans.”
The news of Hogan’s death came weeks after he was claimed to have a health crisis. However, his wife, Sky, refused, the reports that said he was “strong” and was recovering after surgery.
Hogan was to join the former pro wrestling director Eric Bischoff in a new venture called Real American Freestyle. It was a new attempt to put freestyle wrestling on the map.
Hogan also dipped the toe in the political waters. He stumped for President Donald Trump on the Republican National Convention and on a Madison Square Garden Rally last year.
