WWE Hall of Famer and pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks about Hogan’s deteriorating health, with those close to him downplaying what was being said. Hogan’s wife had denied rumors that he was in a coma and that he was just recovering from a neck surgery he underwent back in May.
“Medics were dispatched to the 71-year-old WWE legend’s Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning… with operators stating it was regarding a “cardiac arrest.’ TMZ reported. ‘We’re told a slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan’s home… and the icon was carried on a stretcher and into an ambulance.”
Hogan had not competed in a WWE ring for two decades, but made periodic appearances over the years. He had remained active during his time away from pro wrestling and was preparing to launch a new freestyle wrestling company with Eric Bischoff.
