The wrestling world is reacting to the sudden death of Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea). Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025 at the age of 71 years old. There is no question that Hogan is one of the biggest and most important names in the history of professional wrestling. He was a Mt. Rushmore level icon in the sport. But there's also no question that the Hulkster's legacy became much more complicated, due to his own actions, over the last couple of decades. We discuss what Hogan means to the legacy of WWE and how he should be remembered.
