TMZ Sports broke the news, and posted dispatch audio of medics being sent to Hulk’s location. It’s reported that a number of police cars and EMTs parked outside Hulk’s home, before he was carried out on a stretcher and into an ambulance. No further details have been released.
Rumors circulated a few weeks ago that Hulk was on his death bed. His wife, Sky, was forced to deny rumors he was in a coma. She instead said his heart was “strong” after multiple surgeries.
For reality TV fans, Hulk was a big figure. He appeared on his reality documentary series, Hogan Knows Best, for four seasons. There, he featured alongside his then-wife, Linda Hogan, as well as their kids Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan.
The show was canceled amid filming for a fifth season. As production was halted, due to family problems, it was eventually shelved for good. A spinoff focusing on Brooke – aptly titled Brooke Knows Best – debuted in 2008, and ran for two seasons.
In recent years, Hulk attached his banner to the Trump wagon. He was a highly-vocal supporter of the President in the run-up to the 2024 election.
Hulk also seemed to troll his ex-wife and daughter online, following allegations of abuse. A sad end to the public life of a man who helped change the world of wrestling forever.
