Hulk Hogan, the larger-than-life wrestling superstar who transformed WWE into a global phenomenon and became a cultural icon in the 1980s, died Thursday at age 71 after a cardiac arrest at his Florida home.

Known for his booming charisma, towering physique, and “Hulkamania” persona, Hogan was not only a fan favorite in the ring but also a staple in pop culture.

His support for President Donald Trump in recent years, including a dramatic appearance at the 2024 RNC, added a political dimension to his public life.

Though marred by scandal in 2015, he was later reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan’s death marks the end of an era in sports entertainment.
