Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, died at 71 from cardiac arrest. Hogan helped transform pro wrestling into a global spectacle in the 1980s, headlined the first WrestleMania and became a pop culture icon through film,

He attained pro wrestling stardom in the 1980s and 1990s and was perhaps the biggest star in WWE’s five-decade history.

Thaddeus Bullard, also known as Titus O’Neill in the WWE, was among the members of the company who weren’t happy with how Bollea conveyed his message, construing it as Bollea saying he was upset he got caught, rather than apologizing for his words (something that Bollea vehemently denied).
