On Thursday, WWE and US wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at the age of 71, his manager confirmed.
Chris Volo told NBC Los Angeles that Hogan suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, and died surrounded by his family.
Rumors about Hogan’s health have trended for weeks, after he reportedly was hospitalized.
Just last week, his wife, Sky, denied rumors that he was in a coma, stating that his heart was “strong” after multiple surgeries.
Known from his blonde horseshoe mustache and bandanas, Hogan was one of the most popular wrestling stars of the 1980s and considered one of the sport’s greatest of all time.
Known for his ring movements, he helped transform professional wrestling into entertainment, primarily through his partnership with Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
In 1996, Hogan founded the New World Order (NWO) and became Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
