Hello there, my very good friends. Andy here for Walt Culture Wrestling to report that Hulk Hogan has passed away at 71 years old.

The news just broke within the past half hour or so. It was TMZ who had this first.

Noting that earlier today, medics were sent out to Hogan's home in Clearwater, Florida. This morning,

he had apparently, according to the operators, suffered a cardiac arrest. Now, apparently there

were a slew of police cars and EMTs outside of Hogan's house. I'm just reading this to you

He was carried on to a stretcher into an ambulance. According to the police, who responded to the call at 951 AM. Hogan was treated by fire and rescue personnel before he was taken to hospital.

When he got to the hospital, he was pronounced dead. There will be apparently additional details to be announced by the police later on today.

And it comes following a pretty turbulent period regarding Hogan's health and rumors towards his health.

had speculated a lot and put a lot of information out there.

basically.

Well, trying to avoid that specific word.

And about a month or so ago, there were rumors that the Hogan was on what was described as his deathbed.

That was covered by TMZ at the time as well.

TMZ later clarified that actually he was just dealing with symptoms suffered following a neck procedure that he'd undergone in May. So that, you know, kind of dissipated.

Today we have learned that Hulk Hogan has passed away. What on earth can I possibly say about Hulk Hogan and his wrestling legacy within the space of

a single one-person video?

It's impossible to fully capture the significance of Terry Ballet to pro wrestling as an art form,

to its rise from what it was in the 80s to WW going national,

to the surge of WrestleMania to jumping ship to WCW, the Monday Night Wars,
