Hulk Hogan, the professional wrestling legend known for his role in catapulting WWE (formerly WWF) into mainstream pop culture during the 1980s with his “Hulkamania” persona, has died at the age of 71[1].[3] TMZ reports that Hogan died of cardiac arrest[1].[5] His passing has been confirmed by multiple media outlets, and it marks the end of a significant era in wrestling history[3].[8].

Outside of the ring, Hulk Hogan appeared in numerous films such as Rocky III, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and Mr. Nanny[1]. He remained a controversial figure in the world of wrestling due to his past actions and public views, most recently being booed during an appearance on WWE Raw’s Netflix premiere, a reaction partly attributed to his vocal political stances[2].

Prior to his death, Hogan had faced several health challenges in 2025. Earlier rumors falsely claimed he was on his deathbed; these were initially denied by friends, and it was clarified that he had only been hospitalized to address neck and back injuries[2]. Shortly afterwards, TMZ reported his cardiac arrest and subsequent passing, which was further confirmed by the release of the 911 call audio[5].

Hogan’s planned appearance at the “Real American Freestyle” event in Cleveland, scheduled for August 30, had struggled with ticket sales, selling only 457 out of approximately 3,882 seats by early July—a testament to declining interest or concerns about his health[2].

On the merchandising and collectors’ front, Mattel recently revealed a new Hulk Hogan figure as part of their WWE Ultimate Edition lineup during Comic-Con 2025, underscoring his enduring legacy in pop culture[6].
