Robert Griffin III Pays Tribute After WWE Legend Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WWE icon Hulk Hogan passed away at 71 from a heart attack, according to the WWE and Associated Press.

A tribute video narrated by Paul "Triple H" Levesque encapsulates Hogan's career, from the beginning to his top moments in the ring — from WrestleMania main event matches to the New World Order to "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. It also touches on his career outside of the ring, from movies to becoming a worldwide celebrity.

Hulk Hogan's close friend Jimmy Hart talks exclusively to PEOPLE about the WWE star's health in his final days and reflects on his friendship, after Hogan's death on Thursday, July 24.

Hogan also famously wrestled for WWE competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the 1990s, turning heel (wrestling parlance for bad guy) and becoming Hollywood Hulk Hogan as a member of the New World Order (NWO). He has also wrestled for promotions like New Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA.

Hulk Hogan evolved from a sports entertainer to lifestyle brand through authenticity and expansion, with recent ventures that included a beer brand and freestyle wrestling organization.

Social media users claimed the wrestling icon's death on July 24, 2025, occurred exactly a decade after WWE terminated his contract.

Trump led a wave of tributes honoring Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, who lived in Clearwater, Florida. WWE star died of cardiac arrest at age 71.

Hulk Hogan's wife, Sky Daily Hogan, broke her silence for the first time following the wrestler's death. "I wasn’t ready for this…and my heart is in pieces," she wrote in part on Instagram on July 25.
