Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan died Thursday at the age of 71.

The death of the wrestler, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, comes just over a year after he went viral at the 2024 Republican National Convention, giving then-presidential candidate Donald Trump a ripping endorsement.

According to TMZ, medics were dispatched to the WWE icon’s Clearwater, Florida, home early Thursday morning, with operators stating it was regarding a “cardiac arrest.”

In his post-wrestling career, Hogan promoted his beer brand Real American Beer, which he started to “bring the country back together one beer at a time.”

“R.I.P to a legend,” Donald Trump Jr. said on X.

WWE has also extended its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans on X, saying, “WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s.”
