Hulk Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, passed on 24 July at the age of 71 due to cardiac arrest.
He rose to prominence in the 1980s with his All-American “Hulkamania” persona and helped transform WWE, then known as the WWF, into a national powerhouse.
Fueled by Hulkamania, Hogan played good guys and bad in the ring, starred in movies and had his own reality show and Saturday morning cartoon.
Hogan is survived by his children, Nick and Brooke, whom he shared with first wife Linda Claridge.
