WWE co-founder Vince McMahon in a statement posted on X called Hulk Hogan “the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world.” Incredibly high praise given the star-studded roster WWE has produced in the ring and beyond.

Vince McMahon has broken a six month social media silence on social media to honour the death of WWE legend Hulk Hogan at the age of 71. News of the former world champion’s death, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was confirmed by his family to US Weekly, though they did not share any further details.
