In a heartbreaking update that’s shaken the wrestling world, WWE legend Hulk Hogan’s close friend and longtime manager Jimmy Hart has revealed details about the superstar’s final moments—describing a sudden, overnight turn in his health that left friends and fans stunned.

Speaking with deep emotion in a recent interview, Hart said that Hogan—real name Terry Bollea—had been doing “just fine” days before the unexpected decline. “It happened almost overnight,” Hart shared. “One day we were talking about WrestleMania memories… the next, he just wasn’t the same. It hit him fast, and it hit him hard.”

The pair shared a decades-long friendship, dating back to their glory days in the WWE during the 1980s and ‘90s. Hart, known as “The Mouth of the South,” stood by Hogan through career highs, personal lows, and public scrutiny. “He was more than a wrestling icon—he was a brother,” Hart said. “He always had time for the fans. He carried the spirit of wrestling everywhere he went.”

While Hogan’s family has not made an official public statement, sources close to the WWE Hall of Famer confirmed that he had been quietly battling several health issues in recent months, including complications related to back surgeries and long-term physical wear from years in the ring.
“It was tough to watch,” Hart added. “He never wanted people to see him weak. But in his final days, he still smiled. Still said, ‘Brother, we did it all, didn’t we?’ That was Hogan—strong until the very end.”
Fans around the world have flooded social media with tributes, thanking the larger-than-life wrestler for decades of unforgettable moments, from iconic body slams to his legendary “Hulkamania” persona.
Though he may be gone, the legacy of Hulk Hogan lives on in every chant, every ring entrance, and every child who ever tore a T-shirt in half and flexed their muscles in front of a mirror.
Rest in power, Hulkster. You will never be forgotten.
