Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71, his family have confirmed to US Weekly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TMZ is reporting Hogan suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida.<\/p>\n

US Weekly detailed in a report published last month that Hogan was recovering from a major operation on his heart.<\/p>\n

“Hulk had pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago and was doing well afterward,” a source close to the wrestler told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Hogan is largely regarded as of one the most recognisable figures in the whole of\u00a0WWE<\/a>, and today’s news is devastating to millions of his fans across the world.<\/p>\n

Tributes have been flooding in for the WWE legend, with one person penning on Twitter: “Hard to describe this man’s dominance in our society during my childhood years. RIP to the Hulkster.”<\/p>\n

A second added: “I grew up watching Hulk Hogan, first in the wrestling ring, then in movies like 3 Ninjas, Mr. Nanny, and Suburban Commando. He was a true character and one of the first wrestlers I saw make the leap into Hollywood. A larger-than-life icon. RIP, Champ.”<\/p>\n

While a third remarked: “Whether you liked him or hated him as a person, professional wrestling wouldn\u2019t be what it is today without Hulk Hogan. Truly the end of an era. RIP.”<\/p>\n

While Hogan is loved by many\u00a0wrestling<\/a>\u00a0fans, there’s no doubt his career has been marred with a fair bit of controversy in recent years.<\/p>\n

The disdain towards Hogan follows a video of him repeatedly using a racial slur being made public in 2007, leading him to be axed from WWE’s Hall of Fame in 2015 – although three years later he was reinstated.<\/p>\n

Hogan would later issue an apology for the comments, saying: “It was wrong. I’m embarrassed by it but a lot of people need to realize that you inherit things, you’re your environment.<\/p>\n

“Where I grew up was South Tampa and it was a really rough neighbourhood, very low income and all my friends we greeted each other saying that word.”<\/p>\n

After being reintroduced into the world of WWE amid the comments,\u00a0Hogan was awkwardly booed by the crowd<\/a>\u00a0– much to the surprise of himself and manager, Jimmy Hart.<\/p>\n

While Hogan is undoubtedly best known for his wrestling career, he also went down the acting path having featured in films such as\u00a0Rocky III, Gremlins 2<\/em>,\u00a0The A-Team<\/em>, and\u00a0Gnomeo and Juliet<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
