One of pop culture\u2019s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan\u2019s family, friends, and fans,\u201d the company said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/wwe\/status\/1948414335153230023\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Donald Trump also paid <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114909476369684993\">tribute<\/a>. \u201cWe lost a great friend today, the \u2018Hulkster.\u2019 Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way \u2014 Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week\u2026 Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan rose to superstardom in the 1980s as the face of the then-World Wrestling Federation (WWF), headlining WrestleMania events and becoming a household name through his persona of all-American strength and charisma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for his catchphrases and signature moves like the \u201cLeg Drop,\u201d Hogan helped transform wrestling into a global entertainment phenomenon. He later became a central figure in the New World Order (nWo) storyline during the 1990s in WCW, further cementing his legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond wrestling, Hogan starred in films and TV shows and remained a prominent figure in American pop culture. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 and again in 2020 as a member of the nWo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough the good times and the bad, I always loved my brother Terry. I\u2019m devastated by the loss of my friend. I only wish we had time to mend our broken friendship before his passing,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/brutusbeefcake_\/status\/1948415465241346483\">said<\/a> &#8216;Brutus Beefcake.&#8217; \u201cUntil I see you, Brother, in the big squared circle in the sky \u2014 I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hulk Hogan, one of the most iconic figures in professional wrestling and a pop culture fixture for decades, has died at the age of 71, according to officials.
