Hulk Hogan began his career in 1977, turning into a global sensation for WWE in the 1980s. He didn't just help WWE become a major company, but he also transcended pro wrestling, becoming an integral part of pop culture. He officially retired in 2012, though he remained in the spotlight over the years.

The Rock pays tribute to Hulk Hogan

One of the biggest matches in WWE history was Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 18. Hogan was past his prime at this point, but he was still a larger-than-life personality, and he was cheered by the crowd even though he was a heel at the time.

The Final Boss paid tribute to Hogan with a touching message on Instagram. He shared clips from their face-off at WrestleMania 18, when the electricity of the crowd was out of this world.

"From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever… Thank you for the house, brother… Thank you, for the house. RIP Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan 🕊️," The Rock wrote.

Before The Rock began a career in Hollywood, Hogan paved the way for pro wrestlers by starring in a bunch of movies at the height of his career in the 1980s and 1990s. He famously played Thunderlips in Rocky 3 in 1982.
