Hulk Hogan Dead at 71: Tributes Pour In for Iconic Wrestler
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has died at age 71 following a reported cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning, TMZ first reported. Medics reportedly responded to a cardiac arrest call at Hogan's residence around dawn. Multiple police vehicles and EMTs were seen outside the home, and Hogan was transported by stretcher into an ambulance. His wife, Sky, had recently denied rumors of a coma, saying his heart was "strong" after Hogan had been recovering from neck surgery performed in May. Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan was a central figure in wrestling's rise during the 1980s and 90s. In recent years, Hogan had become an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, making him an icon within the Make America Great Again movement (MAGA) Tributes were quick to pour in online, as fans commemorated the wrestling icon. "I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @HulkHogan! Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn't Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend!" retired wrester Ric Flair, born Richard Morgan Fliehr, wrote on X. "R.I.P to a legend. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 HULK HOGAN," Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X. "Hulk Hogan was a genuine, uniquely American creation. Fearlessly original. Flawed but unbowed. He had the courage to stand on his own principles, and he never stopped fighting for his country. An American icon. He will be missed," Charlie Kirk, the founder and CEO of conservative group Turning Point USA, wrote on X. This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.

‘Top Chef' Winner Tristen Epps Takes Over Red Rooster Overtown
is an editor of Eater's South region, covering Atlanta, Nashville, Miami, New Orleans, and the Carolinas. She has been writing about the food scene in the Carolinas and Savannah for 12 years. Erin has resided in Charleston, South Carolina, for the past 20 years. Fresh off his win in the 22nd season of Top Chef, chef Tristen Epps is preparing for his next step — opening Afro-Caribbean restaurant Buboy in Houston, Texas. He's building buzz for the upcoming eatery with a pop-up tour, and one of his stops is Miami restaurant Red Rooster Overtown. Starting Friday, July 25, Epps will be back in the Red Rooster kitchen (he was previously an executive chef at the Marcus Samuelsson restaurant). Epps will serve dishes from his tenure at Red Rooster, as well as Afro-Caribbean fare that will be on the menu at Buboy. Red Rooster classics include the Rooster Royale (a whole chicken with tamarind-malta glaze), crispy green tomatoes with comeback sauce, oxtail fried rice, and tuna crudo with Cuban coffee ponzu. 'Working with Tristen has always been an absolute joy. He's a chef with deep creativity, heart, and an incredible sense of purpose. His return to Red Rooster Overtown is a full-circle moment, and I'm thrilled to collaborate with him again and feature some of his incredible new dishes from Buboy.' says chef-owner Marcus Samuelsson. When asked what to expect for the Buboy preview items, Epps says, 'My menus are always evolving, and I rarely repeat dishes. People can come each time and will have a different experience.' In an interview with Eater Houston, Epps explained that the Buboy pop-ups provide an opportunity to educate diners about the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its enduring social, cultural, and economic impacts. 'I want to make sure that this story behind this cuisine is told,' he says. 'Black food is American food. Black history is American history, and I want that to be really shown and in ways as best as I can.' While cooking for a Miami audience, Epps says he leans into Afro-Latin and Caribbean-Latin cuisine. 'I can celebrate that side of the diaspora, which includes Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and more. Miami is a rich tapestry of all of those cultures, and it makes for a beautiful celebration of cuisine.' In Houston, he leans more into West African and Asian influences, as well as heavier on meats. 'In Miami, I do more in the lighter realm with fish and seafood,' he says. Diners can find information about upcoming dinners, including dates, menus, and reservation details, online.
