A tribute video narrated by Paul "Triple H" Levesque encapsulates Hogan's career, from the beginning to his top moments in the ring — from WrestleMania main event matches to the New World Order to "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. It also touches on his career outside of the ring, from movies to becoming a worldwide celebrity.

Hogan also famously wrestled for WWE competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the 1990s, turning heel (wrestling parlance for bad guy) and becoming Hollywood Hulk Hogan as a member of the New World Order (NWO). He has also wrestled for promotions like New Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA.

WWE honored Hall of Famer and professional wrestling icon Hulk Hogan on Friday, one day after his passing at 71 years old.

Social media users claimed the wrestling icon's death on July 24, 2025, occurred exactly a decade after WWE terminated his contract.

Before The Rock morphed into movie star Dwayne Johnson, and well-before John Cena traded his jorts for a Peacemaker helmet, Terry “ Hulk Hogan ” Bollea made the leap from a professional-wrestling ring to Hollywood.
