The WWE legend suffered what is being described as a "massive cardiac arrest" at 71. Hogan was among the most influential performers, whose popularity soared to unimaginable heights in the 80s, so much so that he's often credited with single-handedly making wrestling mainstream.

Among the sea of tributes that have been pouring in, Shawn Michaels has sent his condolences. Taking to his X account, The Heartbreak Kid retweeted Triple H's post, further highlighting The Hulkster's contributions to the business.

"A legend. A larger-than-life presence. Hulk Hogan didn’t just work in this business… he transformed it. Rest in peace, Hulkster," he wrote.

Considering there have been only a handful of performers who have had an impact of this magnitude on the business, fans expect WWE to honor Hogan's legacy in various ways in the coming weeks.
