Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan passed away from cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home on July 24, 2025. He was 71. Emergency crews responded early that morning, just months after Hogan underwent a “little fusion procedure” in May.
Trump Pays Tribute
President Donald Trump honored his longtime friend, writing on Truth Social: “We lost a great friend today, the ‘Hulkster.’ Hulk Hogan was strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.” Trump Jr. also shared a brief tribute.
A Decades-Long Friendship
The two met at a 1980s wrestling match in Atlantic City and remained close for over 35 years, often seen together at events like WrestleMania.
Health Struggles and Legacy
Hogan had endured numerous surgeries—“I’ve had 10 back surgeries… both knees and both hips replaced,” he said in 2024. Despite health rumors, he was reportedly recovering well until his sudden death. Tributes from fans and celebrities continue to pour in.
