WWE legend Hulk Hogan's ex-wife Linda posted a throwback photo of the couple and referenced 'the good old days' just four days before his death at 71
Hulk Hogan 's ex-wife Linda recently reminisced about her 'good days' with the WWE legend just days before his untimely death at 71.
‌
Hogan's death has been reported by TMZ, who claim that medics were dispatched to the 71-year-old's home in Clearwater, Florida. The sad news comes just a few weeks after his wife, Sky, had to deny rumours he was in a coma.
‌
Hogan is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest at his Florida home. It has been reported that medics were dispatched to Hulk's home in Clearwater, Florida, early on Thursday morning; it's understood operators stated it was a "cardiac arrest".
‌
TMZ has reported that a flurry of police cars and emergency vehicles were parked outside the wrestling legend's home, and he was 'carried on a stretcher into an ambulance'.
The legendary grappler had faced health issues in recent weeks after undergoing numerous surgeries. We reported earlier this week that he was "unable to speak" and was being monitored at home by medical staff after having a bad reaction to surgery.
‌
Hogan, who was hospitalised last month, is said to have been transported home from the hospital after an adverse reaction to cervical surgery.
While reports about his apparent declining health were surfacing, Hogan's ex-wife Linda spoke about her marriage with the wrestling legend as she opened up about 'the good old days'.
In a post that now seems eerie, Linda, 65, shared a throwback photo with the late wrestling pro from 1996 to her Instagram. Linda posted the snap on July 19 - just four days before he tragically died.
‌
'The good old days' she captioned the photo, which saw her modelling a stunning black gown as she wrapped her arm around Hulk. The former couple were attending the NATPE Convention in Las Vegas at the time the photo was captured.
Linda and Hulk were married from 1983 to 2009 and shared two children, their daughter Brooke, 36, and their son Nick, 36.
Once one of the most high-profile couples in the wrestling world, their relationship was featured prominently on the reality show Hogan Knows Best, which aired in the mid-2000s.
‌
However, their marriage began to unravel amid growing tensions and rumors of infidelity. In 2007, Linda filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
The split was finalised in 2009, ending a tumultuous chapter marked by public scrutiny and personal struggles.
‌
Hogan, who was the WWE's biggest star during the late 80s and early 90s, sparked concern among fans when appeared on tv to promote his new business ventures, with viewers taking to social media to say he looked 'unwell.'
In May, a representative for Hogan told US media that he had undergone a 'little fusion procedure' on his neck and was recovering quickly. His last known public appearance was a photo opportunity with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis later that month.
‌
Last month, Bubba claimed Hogan was on his deathbed and that family members had been called in to say their final goodbyes. However, the claims were later denied by a spokesman for the legendary wrestler.
Just weeks before his death, the representative for the WWE icon denied speculation he was gravely after it was announced he had undergone a small "fusion procedure" on his neck.
The YouTuber claimed that things were "not looking good" for him. Denying the speculation, a representative said that Hulk's surgery had been "successful" and there were "no reasons to panic."
