Christians around the globe are paying heartfelt tribute to Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, the iconic WWE star whose life journey included a powerful commitment to Christ.
Renowned evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham shared on X: “I had the privilege of being with him last year… He and his wife Sky were baptised at their church in 2023. When posting about his baptism, he said, ‘Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life.’”
Hogan’s faith journey deeply touched many, including retired professional wrestler Ric Flair, who publicly professes his belief in God. Flair posted a moving tribute: “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!”
U.S President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social: "We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster'. Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way - strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart."
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance also honoured Hogan’s influence, recalling a personal connection: “Hulk Hogan was a great American icon. One of the first people I ever truly admired as a kid. The last time I saw him we promised we’d get beers together next time we saw each other. The next time will have to be on the other side, my friend! Rest in peace.”
