Hulk Hogan, the wrestler who transformed WWE in a big way beginning in the 1980s, has died at the age of 71. Reports surfaced on Thursday about the famous wrestler in what was called a "cardiac arrest.

Though Hulk Hogan was battling serious health issues before his death, his wife Sky Daily believed that he would kick out.

In May 2025, a representative for Hogan confirmed to TMZ that the “Hogan Knows Best” star underwent a “little fusion procedure” on his neck to help him “feel a little better.” By the following day, his rep confirmed, Hogan was back to work.
