Hulk Hogan’s Wife Shares Heartfelt Tribute After Wrestling Icon’s Death at 71

The wrestling world is reeling from the sudden loss of an icon. Hulk Hogan, the larger-than-life figure who defined an era of professional wrestling, passed away on Thursday at the age of 71 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Emergency responders arrived just before 10 a.m., but despite their efforts, Hogan was pronounced dead at Morton Plant Hospital.

In a deeply emotional tribute shared on social media early Friday, Hogan’s wife, Sky Daily Hogan, expressed her heartbreak and disbelief. "I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces," she wrote, reflecting on the health struggles Hogan had faced in recent weeks. She had held onto hope, believing in his legendary strength to pull through. "I thought we still had more time," she added, a sentiment that echoes the shock felt by fans worldwide.

Hogan’s passing comes after weeks of speculation about his health, though Sky had previously dismissed rumors of a crisis, insisting he was on the mend from surgeries. To her, he was not just a global superstar but "my Terry, the man I loved, my partner." She also highlighted his unwavering dedication to his fans, noting how, even in physical discomfort, he continued to engage with them through autographs and photos. "You meant everything to him," she wrote, addressing the legion of supporters who idolized the Hulkster.

Sky found solace in Hogan’s faith, describing him as a believer in Christ and taking comfort in the thought that his soul is at peace. This spiritual side was evident last December when the couple shared their baptism on social media, with Hogan declaring it the greatest day of his life, filled with love and surrender to Jesus.

The outpouring of grief has been immense, with fellow wrestlers, fans, and even political figures honoring Hogan’s legacy. As Sky urged, let us keep his family and loved ones in our thoughts during this painful time. The ring may be empty, but Hulk Hogan’s impact will resonate forever.
