In the USA.

The news as it trends.

Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea, legendary WWE Hall of Famer, has passed away at the age of 71 following cardiac arrest at his Florida home.

Known worldwide for his iconic red-and-yellow attire, handlebar mustache, and unforgettable catchphrase.

Hogan was more than a wrestler; he was a showman, a household name, and a cultural icon.

He is survived by his wife, Sky Daily, and two children, Brooke and Nick.

His net worth, estimated at around $25 million, stemmed from an empire of wrestling, acting, reality TV, and business ventures.

From WrestleMania III to Thunder in Paradise, Hogan’s influence reached fans of all ages—including many in the Nigerian diaspora who grew up watching him defy gravity and villains.

His death isn’t just a loss for wrestling—it’s the end of an era that defined sports entertainment and left an indelible mark on pop culture.
