HULK HOGAN'S HUSH : WRESTLING HONOURS MEMORIUM

The death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan stirred a wave of tributes from across the entertainment and sports worlds.

Remembered for his magnetic charisma both inside the ring and beyond it, Hogan's influence spanned more than four decades and left an indelible mark on professional wrestling.

Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan passed away on Thursday morning at the age of 71 after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater Florida, as reported by BBC.

Hogan's impact on wrestling was unmatched - his fame in the 1980s helped bring prowrestling into the mainstream. At the height of his popularity, he became a household name, branching into film, music, reality television and even launching a pasta-themed restaurant.

In later years, however,  Hogan's reputation took a hit after a leaked tape revealed him using racial slurs.

WWE distanced itself from him for several years before ultimately reinstating him, though his final appearances were met with mixed reactions from fans.

Despite the controversy, Hogan remained a towering figure in wrestling culture until his death.

On Thursday, fellow wrestlers, Hollywood stars and fans remembered him as a pioneer who helped shape the face of modern entertainment.
