WWE Legend Hulk Hogan Dies at 71, Fans Honor During India-England Test

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71 from cardiac arrest at his Florida home, a loss mourned globally across the wrestling community. On the day of his death, a cricket fan was notably seen wearing Hogan's signature 'Hulkamania' yellow and red t-shirt and bandana during the England-India Test match at Old Trafford, an ironic and poignant moment widely shared on social media. Hogan's wrestling name was inspired by the Marvel character The Incredible Hulk, a nickname that stuck after a local TV appearance where he appeared larger than Lou Ferrigno, the actor who played the Hulk. His bold red and yellow ring attire, including the iconic feather boa, became a key part of his larger-than-life persona, crafted with input from his manager and inspired by the recognizable McDonald's colors. Hogan's impact extended beyond wrestling as he became a pop culture icon, known for his energetic performances and the vibrant branding of 'Hulkamania.' Tributes from fellow wrestling legends highlight the profound influence Hogan had on the sport and its fans worldwide.
