One year ago today, Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025 at age 71, following cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Hogan headlined the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was central to professional wrestling's national expansion. He held six WWF Championships, including a first reign of more than four years, won consecutive Royal Rumbles in 1990 and 1991, and slammed Andre the Giant before a record crowd at WrestleMania III. His 1996 turn at Bash at the Beach, forming the New World Order with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, launched a second era-defining run that included six WCW World Heavyweight Championships, and his match with The Rock at WrestleMania X8 remains one of the most celebrated of the 2000s. Hogan was a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, inducted individually in 2005 and with the nWo in 2020, and made his final WWE television appearance on Raw's Netflix debut in January 2025. #HulkHogan #WWE #WrestlingHistory #nWo #WrestlingNews
