Hulk Hogan's legacy is complicated for fans who remember the peak of his pro wrestling glory, before his sex tape, racist slurs and MAGA stumping.

Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71 after suffering a medical issue at his home in Florida, TMZ Sports reported on Thursday.

Earlier this week, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71 after going into cardiac arrest. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, stopped by Jacksonville in March to promote “Real American Beer.

Thaddeus Bullard, also known as Titus O’Neill in the WWE, was among the members of the company who weren’t happy with how Bollea conveyed his message, construing it as Bollea saying he was upset he got caught, rather than apologizing for his words (something that Bollea vehemently denied).

News of Hulk Hogan's death at 71 rocked the wrestling world. The "Hulkster" was one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE history.

Well, as Parade highlighted, Hogan claims that he tried to join the legendary rock band, Metallica, and was prepared to leave life as a wrestling icon behind to do so. “When Metallica was looking for a bass player, I called and never heard a word back from them either,” he told the Chicago Tribune in 2009.

Hulk Hogan evolved from a sports entertainer to lifestyle brand through authenticity and expansion, with recent ventures that included a beer brand and freestyle wrestling organization.
