Jimmy Hart, Hulk Hogan's longtime manager and friend, and Jerry 'The King' Lawler discuss Hogan's pro wrestling legacy in the wake of his death.

Following the news of Hulk Hogan's tragic passing on Thursday, WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart weighs in on how stunned he was to lose his close friend/former client.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo spoke about seeing Jimmy Hart on TV during Hulk Hogan's tribute segment. Several legends were on SmackDown this week.

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.

Hogan suffered a cardiac arrest on Thursday morning in the wake of conflicting updates on his degrading health.

Fans have had fun recently digging up some of The Undertaker's old comments about Hulk Hogan's now-infamous appearance on the 6 January 2025 episode of Raw. There, the returning Hogan and fellow legend Jimmy Hart were booed out of the building whilst promoting Hulk's brand of beer in a cameo spot on WWE 's flagship TV show.
