Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan dead at 71

[NBCLosAngeles] Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan has died, his manager confirmed. He was 71.

Manager Chris Volo told NBC Los Angeles that Hogan died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, surrounded by family.

Clearwater Fire and Rescue responded to his home at 9:51 a.m. Thursday for a reported cardiac arrest, according to a media release from the city. Hogan was pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said.

Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, attained pro wrestling stardom in the 1980s and 1990s and was perhaps the biggest star in WWE’s five-decade history. He was the main draw for the first-ever WrestleMania, headlining the 1985 event in New York, and was a fixture for years at Wrestlemania, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even company chairman Vince McMahon.

He won six WWE championships and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Sylvester Stallone.

#1 It's disconcerting people younger than I are dying from general systems failure.

#6 Rocky III

Within the first thirty minutes of the film is a wild, hilarious fight between Rocky and wrestler Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan). We see our hero defend himself against this giant who throws him around like a ragdoll in a charity match for ten minutes ("Why are they carrying him?" Paulie asks as Thunderlips enters the arena. "He's walking," Micky replies").

Loved seeing Stallone slapped around.

#8 Love all the comments. I am 75 and suffered a serious heart attack 4 years ago.

The only thing that saved me was a CPR trained wife...and the nearby EMT. I was flat lined for almost 8 minutes before they zapped me back.

Baba (the grand kids named her), everyone needs one.

Ditto to the RIP for the hulkster.

#10 Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan and Chuck Mangione. I've heard it said that celebrity deaths come in threes.

Checking out at 71 does seem to be a bit early. RIP to all three of them.

#12 #1 When it's our time it's our time. Case in point the sole survivor of an Indian plane crash immediately juxtaposed with the death of an Indian billionaire playing polo in England. You just never know.
