WWE Pays Tribute to Hulk Hogan at SmackDown Following His Passing at Age 71

WWE paid tribute to wrestling icon Hulk Hogan following his death at 71, capturing his legendary career and personal impact on fans. The homage took place during the Friday night SmackDown event, where clips showcased Hogan’s illustrious wrestling and entertainment journeys. Triple H narrated the segment, dubbing Hogan “the ultimate hero,” as the crowd joined in applause and chants. Reports indicated Hogan had faced health issues before his passing, but his wife, Sky, denied these claims, affirming he was on the mend following surgeries.

Hogan, born Terry Bollea, made his professional wrestling debut in Championship Wrestling from Florida in the late 1970s, ultimately finding stardom by rejoining the WWF (now WWE) in 1979. His breakthrough came when he defended Bob Backlund against an assault by the Wild Samoans, and from that moment, “Hulkamania” exploded. Vince McMahon recognized Hogan’s potential, positioning him as the flagship talent of the organization, which significantly shaped wrestling’s trajectory in popular culture.

Throughout his career, Hogan achieved remarkable accolades, including being a six-time WWE champion and winning the Royal Rumble twice. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on two occasions: first as a solo act in 2005 and later as part of the NWO in 2020. His wrestling prowess extended beyond the WWE, as he was also a six-time world heavyweight champion in WCW and held the IWGP championship in Japan. These achievements solidified his legacy as one of the most influential figures in the wrestling world.

The outpouring of grief over Hogan’s death included heartfelt messages from numerous fans and celebrities, notably former President Donald Trump. Trump praised Hogan as “strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,” reflecting their robust friendship. The pair had collaborated during the Republican National Convention, where Hogan delivered an electric speech that left a lasting impression on attendees. Trump’s tribute underscored Hogan’s significant cultural impact and connection with audiences around the globe.

In July 2024, Hogan’s support for Trump was further highlighted during his endorsement at the RNC, where he famously stated, “Let Trump-a-mania make America great again,” merging his wrestling persona with contemporary political themes. This endorsement followed a history of Hogan’s involvement in political events, showcasing how his fame transcended wrestling into broader social realms. The nostalgia for “Hulkamania” is expected to resonate as fans remember one of wrestling’s biggest stars.

As the WWE community reflects on Hogan’s legacy, the impact he has had on professional wrestling and popular culture remains palpable. His charismatic presence and contributions to the sport made him an irreplaceable figure. Fans and collaborators alike will continue to celebrate his achievements both in the ring and beyond, ensuring that Hogan’s influence endures in the annals of wrestling history. The warmth and admiration expressed following his passing echo the lasting legacy he leaves behind.
