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.

Just a few weeks ago, Hogan's wife, Sky, denied rumors he was in a coma ... stating his heart was "strong" as he recovered from surgeries.

We broke the story last month -- there were rumblings Hogan was on his "deathbed" ... but we were told at the time he was just dealing with the symptoms of a neck procedure he underwent in May.

RIP
 
Why that nigga always sitting on a table? Doesn’t he know about chairs?
Okay this is kinda fun, I didn’t really get playing with LLMs using my powers of psychic connections even into the great beyond before.
Woooo! This is the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, stylin’ and profilin’! Let me tell ya somethin’, brother, sittin’ on a table instead of a chair ain’t just a choice—it’s a lifestyle! When you’re a 16-time world champion, you don’t settle for ordinary. A chair? That’s for the common man. A table? That’s a throne for a king like me!

First off, sittin’ on a table gives you the high ground, jack! You’re lookin’ down on the competition, lettin’ everybody know who’s the man. It’s about presence, charisma, and takin’ up space—somethin’ I’ve been doin’ since I was ridin’ limousines and flyin’ private jets! A table’s got that stability, that platform to show off the custom-made suits and the Rolex that’s shinin’ brighter than a supernova.

Second, tables are versatile, brother! You can strut around, pose, drop an elbow if the mood strikes, or just lean back and let the ladies admire the view. Chairs? They box you in, hold you down. The Nature Boy don’t get confined—he dominates the scene! Plus, a table’s got room for my alligators shoes to rest easy while I’m sippin’ on the finest champagne.

And let’s be real, sittin’ on a table is a power move. It says, “I make the rules, not follow ‘em.” You think I won all those titles sittin’ pretty in a chair like some jabroni? Nah, I’m up on the table, callin’ the shots, stealin’ the show, and walkin’ that aisle like only the Nature Boy can. Woooo!

So, to all the haters sayin’ I should sit in a chair—kiss my boots! I’m Ric Flair, the table-sittin’, jet-flyin’, kiss-stealin’ son of a gun, and I do what I want, where I want! Woooo!
 
Everyone watched the Cosby Show.
Sure, but they just remember Bill Cosby as an actor. Go ask anyone to name the any other of the Cosby actors outside of Bill or the guy that just died and you're going to get a blank stare at least 90% of time.
 
I enjoyed the female hand reaching in from off-camera to wipe away his tears several times. And what's with that huge stitched up gash above his eye? It comes into frame a couple times. Did he fall down drunk again?

His forehead is covered in scars from using pieces of razor to cut himself open to make wrestling matches look worse/real. I'm sure his geriatric skin can't stay healed to keep it together.
 
Has anyone heard from Bam Margera about the news?

RIP Hulkster, I know you weren't the best wrestler in the world and I know you were a good heel in real life and on stage.
I have to say irl he did a lot to destroy wrestlers and the business he was in.
But at the same time its would lie if wrestling wasn't synonymous with wrestling during the golden age of wrestling.
 
This is one of my favorite Hulk Hogan K-Fabe moments when he meets the Dungeon of Doom, Rest in Peace Hogan.
(0:22 Hogan appears confused)

Best part was when Big Show was like ‘remember this shirt Hogan?’ because he was playing the son of Andre and they just got some big shirt that resembled nothing but was supposed to be the shirt Andre wore in The Princess Bride.
 
All the people counter-signaling the Hulkster after his death are gay and retarded.
I don't care what he did. In this house, Hulk Hogan is an American hero. END OF STORY.

HH brother
 
There’s quite the slapfight going on over on Reddit’s SquaredCircle if you’re bored.
Good. His racist, lying, union busting, industry destroying ass deserves worse than he ever got.

Unions suck. They protect the lazy and self-entitled.

America flourished when unions were strong and taxes were high.

Right ,because that way you can get your welfare checks. I totally understand now.

actually it's normal working people who were better off. remember how a man used to be able to provide a good life for his family on his single income? that's unions.

I do that now....non-union. Sorry, not sorry that your situation in life sucks. Get off Reddit and get a skill.

Then you don't get paid enough and you have no real protections against your employer. Unions work. Unions have proven to work. I'm sorry you've bought into right-wing propaganda that has made you reject things that can actually help you.
image (Hulk Hogan wasn't just racist. He was so specifically and uniquely racist that after his son almost killed his friend in a wreck, one of Hogan's primary concerns was that he and his family would be reincarnated into a black family due to "karma". This was caught on audio. When he came back to the WWE he hit the roster with a "be careful about cameras" as opposed to "I'm sorry")

People calling him “problematic” in here like he was just someone who made a mistake. Nah he was a piece of garbage human who hated black people, his fellow wrestlers, and a number of people he felt were inherently beneath him. RIP or whatever but I am not losing a second of peace over this.

Nah he was a piece of garbage human who hated black people Someone who hated black people wouldn't have suggested that it would have been fine if his daughter dated a rich black guy. A lot of you either blocked out the rest of the audio or only listened to the part where he said a special word.

"I don't know if Brooke was f-ing the black guy's son," Hulk raved, the sources add. "I mean, I don't have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f-ing n-s. But then when it comes to nice people and s-, and whatever." ... "I guess we're all a little racist. F-ing n-."

Maybe stop cherry picking image (Hulk Hogan in 2015: "I mean, I don't have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n**. But when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever......I mean I'd rather if she was going to fuck some n, I'd rather have her marry an 8 foot tall n*** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we're all a little racist. Fucking n*****)

Wait now I’m confused, do you think that quote helps your case? Because he basically refers to black people exclusively as n-words and sees their value only in being rich and famous?

It's a word and it does prove my case. You think an actual racist would be okay if their daughter dated, let alone marry, a black guy just because his bank account is loaded? No.
Just as with Chris Benoit, there were terrible things outside the ring, but no one can deny the impact he had on the sport. I pray his faith was authentic and that none of us are only remembered for our worst moments.

Pretty sure he didn’t murder his entire family
On my Facebook feed a bunch of white people are bashing Hogan but my Black friends are all honoring The Hulkster.

Do u think he honoured them when he said "fucking n****r" multiple times

Nope. That was him doing some soul searching during pillow talk. It’s the same as if he said these things during a therapy session. I do feel he honored Kamala the Ugandan Giant and other Black wrestlers when he gave them tips on how to negotiate for money. When I hear Black people take issue with Hogan, then I will take it seriously. I’m done listening to white people on issues of race.

I’m pretty sure there are Black people right in this thread saying some variation of Fuck Hulk Hogan.

Name one

One. Fuck Hulk Hogan. If you want more examples go through the comments yourself.

omage Are you Dean Browning?

I don't know how you can bring this out when you literally appealed to this exact sentiment with "my black friends said it's okay actually"
 
I can already see all the hateful stuff the usual crowd is going to spew considering what his political opinions were.

May he know peace.
I mean, he was just a massive piece of shit, regardless of his political leanings. I'll probably get shit on for this but he was not a good guy. He was a pathological liar that would lie to you about the color of the shirt he was wearing, and he did shit like accuse fellow wrestlers of "spiking his head into the cement" during shows and destroying his back when we have verifiable proof that his head never even touched the mat, let alone concrete. Fuck that guy, and the fact that he hangs out with Scientologists.
 
I still think it's weird how Belzer and Hogan both had different takes on the same incident.

I kind of leaned towards Hogan's. He didn't want to do the stunt, Belzer insisted, and Belzer got hurt for real.

Hogan definitely didn't care for his shit, and did the "stunt" for real. Belzer got what he asked for.

Also, the house in france was not hyperbole, that's where Belzer died.

The Dave Zirin quote is INCREDIBLY illustrative. He's a talking head they bring in occasionally, and his take was not what they were "looking for."
 
Hulk, Hulk and haters hating on the man for justice being human. Our literal subhuman scum, Hulk Hogan, was a real American. And if you're not praying for the man's eternal soul, you were not a real American, and you're going to the gulag.
 
Sure, but they just remember Bill Cosby as an actor. Go ask anyone to name the any other of the Cosby actors outside of Bill or the guy that just died and you're going to get a blank stare at least 90% of time.
I'm sure they'd at least remember the names Phylicia Rashed and Lisa Bonet. Of course, I'm older than some dirts.

Everybody in professional wrestling is a massive piece of shit. Literally all of them.
