Pro Wrestling Icon & Actor Was 71

Published on:

Hulk Hogan, who served as a main catalyst for launching pro wrestling off the top rope and into the pop culture stratosphere when he joined the World Wrestling Federation and became perhaps its biggest star, died Thursday in Clearwater, FL. He was 71.

WWE confirmed his death but did not reveal the cause. TMZ, which first reported the news, said Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) suffered cardiac arrest at his home.
