WWE legend Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, sadly passed away Thursday (July 24). Hogan is one of the most recognized wrestlers in the world, boasting 12 world championship titles.
According to sources, medics were called to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida, early in the morning in response to a reported cardiac arrest. Shortly after, the 71-year-old was transported into an ambulance on a stretcher.
Hogan had reportedly undergone multiple medical procedures in recent months, including a neck surgery in May and a more recent heart surgery.
The wrestler has made a few surprising appearances at country music events over the years, including his friend Jason Aldean’s concert.
In October of 2023, the wrestling legend joined Aldean during his Highway Desperado Tour in Tampa, Florida.
Hogan grabbed Aldean’s guitar and hyped up the crowd during the show.
“What’s up, Jason Aldean maniacs?,” Hogan exclaimed. “What’s up, Tampa, Florida? Let me hear how much love you’ve got for Jason Mania, brother!”
He then blew kisses, shared a handshake and hug with Aldean, then exited to roaring cheers from the audience.

Aldean took to his social media to pay tribute to Hogan following his passing, saying he was the “coolest” guy in the world.
“Sad to hear about the passing of a true American Icon today. As a kid of the ‘80s, Hulk Hogan was the coolest guy in the world to me. I had no idea I would consider him a friend when I was older. So glad I got to know him and spend a little time with him over the last few years and I will never forget it. We are all gonna miss ya, Terry, but I’m sure Hulkamania is running wild up in heaven today. Rest easy, champ,” Aldean wrote.
