TMZ is reporting that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan died today:
“Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71 years old, TMZ Sports has learned.
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.’
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.”
This news follows a series of stories over the last month
where Bubba the Love Sponge first spread a rumor about Hogan being on his deathbed, only for that rumor to be denied by people close to Hogan like Eric Bischoff, Jimmy Hart, and Hogan’s wife Sky Daily. They asserted that Hogan was doing well while recovering from intense neck fusion surgery.
Hogan is one of the most famous professional wrestlers of all-time, and he’s also been in the news of late as his new Real American Freestyle wrestling promotion gets ready for its inaugural event in August.
We’ll bring you more on this story as we have it.
