From the moment Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea ripped his first yellow tee in 1979, the red and yellow whirlwind transformed wrestling into pop‑culture spectacle. 

He slammed André the Giant before thousands of people at WrestleMania III, and had countless iconic fights. Each reinvention louder than the last. Hogan captured 12 world titles, fronted blockbusters, dove into movies and reality TV, and still found time to market everything from grills to beer. 

Now, after his sudden passing at 71 in Florida, we honor the power, pageantry, and wonder of Hulkamania. Say your prayers, take your vitamins, then scroll through these images of triumph and turmoil and let’s remember his greatest moments.
