Report: Pro Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Dead at 71

Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died, according to TMZ Sports. He was 71 years old

Emergency medical services were sent to the home of the legendary wrestler in Clearwater, Florida, early Thursday morning, to reports of a cardiac arrest.

Rumors that the wrestling icon’s health was deteriorating emerged a few weeks ago when his wife, Sky, dismissed rumors that Hogan was in a coma. Instead, she insisted that his heart was strong.

Hogan had recently undergone several surgeries, one of which prompted TMZ Sports to report last month that the “Hulkster” was on his “deathbed.”

No one in the world of professional wrestling, and few others in the realm of sports, impacted the generations that watched them more than Hulk Hogan. A symbol of patriotic strength, faith, and physical toughness, Hogan inspired children in the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond to reach their full physical and moral potential.
