Hulk Hogan dead at 71: Wrestler's biggest controversies during his storied career
Famed wrestler Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died Thursday, July 24, per Florida police and the WWE. Bollea had been struggling with health issues for years at this point, including a lingering back injury he suffered during his wrestling career. Throughout his career, Hogan was the face of professional wrestling for decades. In fact, he was the headliner for the main event in seven of the first eight WrestleMania's. He was on the covers of magazines, and had a myriad of toys and brands backing him up. He starred in movies, captivated fans and had one strange failed pasta restaurant. That said, despite his massive success, Hogan was not immune to controversy and criticism. With immense fame came scrutiny and Hogan was not a perfect man. Throughout his career, Hogan was the subject of many negative incidents that played a large role in his fall from grace. Here are the biggest controversies of Hogan's career: Hulk Hogan's biggest controversies Hogan's racist tirade/sex tape A sex tape is bad enough, but when Hogan was heard also saying horrendous things about Black people, liberally using a racial slur, his reputation took an ever harsher hit. Hogan also said heinous words about the possibility of his daughter dating a Black man. If it wasn't already clear enough, he also made sure everyone know he was racist by uttering, "I am a racist, to a point, (expletive) (racial slur)." Large role in the destruction of WCW When Hogan refused to lose a fight with WCW, Vince Russo went out of his way to trash Hogan via a promo. However, given Hogan was handed creative control of WCW, the promo broke that contract, allowing Hogan to sue WCW, costing them tons of money and playing a large role in WCW eventually selling to WWE. Very messy divorce with Linda Hogan Linda Hogan was the Hulkster's wife for most of his wrestling career. However, the marriage did not end well. The pair bickered constantly as each wanted to drag the other down. Linda even accused Hogan of cheating on her. Laundry list of lies Hogan would do anything to make himself look cool, even if that meant stretching the truth from time to time. Hogan would lie about everything, small to large. No one cared that George Foreman was the face of the George Foreman grill instead of Hogan, until Hogan falsely claimed that he was supposed to be the face and only wasn't because he missed the company's call. Hogan swore that he received a voicemail claiming that both he and Foreman had received offers. However, the inventor of the grill claimed that he'd never even considered Hogan. Hogan also lied about being hurt by Undertaker via a piledriver. Undertaker feared for his job and was only saved because video evidence showed that the Undertaker had performed the move perfectly, not allowing Hogan to get hurt at all. Hogan also erroneously claimed that he was offered a role in the band Metallica as a bassist. It wasn't long before band members Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield shot down those rumors, calling Hogan a liar. Hogan's abuse of power within pro wrestling When WCW signed Hogan, they gave him creative control over the company, but that did not go as well as they'd hoped. At Starrcade 1997, many fans were hoping to see Sting dethrone Hogan as champion, but Hogan's contract clause gave him the authority to change the outcome, giving himself the win, much to the chagrin of fans everywhere. Hogan continued abusing this power elsewhere, too. Fellow wrestler Bret Hart recalls Hogan being unwilling to drop the championship in 1993. Shawn Michaels also tells a story of Hogan backing out of an agreement in which Michaels would win a rematch between the two. Hogan's weird moments in politics Throughout his career, Hogan made a few strange decisions in the world of politics. Not only did he fake a presidential campaign in 2000, but he also threatened to body slam former Vice President Kamala Harris at a Trump rally. That's taking things a bit too far. Steroid usage The 1990s WWE steroids trial saw Vince McMahon under fire for illegal drug usage in pro wrestling. Hogan was the biggest witness of the case, and after years of claiming he'd never used steroids, he finally came clean in an effort to avoid a perjury charge. At the very least, Hogan did not throw McMahon under the bus, claiming that McMahon had never offered or supplied him with steroids. Hogan's testimony played a large role in McMahon avoiding jail time. Preventing Jesse Ventura from starting a union Although Ventura and Hogan were good friends in professional wrestling, that didn't stop Hogan from snitching on Ventura as he and several other wrestlers attempted to start a union to protect themselves and their futures. Hogan told Vince McMahon of Ventura's plans, allowing McMahon to stop it before it began. To this day, Ventura holds a large grudge against Hogan. There is no evidence that Hogan ever apologized. Hogan booed at final WWE appearance Hogan's final WWE appearance was rather recent, occurring in January 2025, when RAW was broadcast on Netflix for the first time. Hogan was booed during his appearance, fans still upset about the numerous controversies he'd been involved with in the past, including his support for President Donald Trump. Hogan bit back at the boos though, reminiscing about his time as a wrestler, even claiming that his days as a professional were the best of his life. The moment became even more ridiculous when it was revealed that Hogan was there to promote his new beer brand, 'Real American Beer.' It all felt facetious and did not do much to dissuade fans upset with his previous antics.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Podcast Co-Host Reflects on the 'Unfair' Ending of His Life and Details Their Final Texts (Exclusive)
Journalist and professor Candace Kelley, who hosted the 'Not All Hood' podcast with the late 'Cosby Show' actor, recalls a man who was hilarious, thoughtful, and above all, loved his family Malcolm-Jamal Warner's friend and fellow podcast co-host is still grappling with the news of his tragic death. Journalist and professor Candace Kelley, who co-hosted the Not All Hood podcast with Warner, opens up to PEOPLE about her good friend, who died on July 20 after drowning in Costa Rica while on vacation with his family. "He was just in the middle of everything," Kelley tells PEOPLE of the 54-year-old actor. "The middle of his life, the middle of moving back into his home after dealing with a pipe burst, the middle of summer, work..." "The incompletion just feels so unfair," she adds, noting that he was also in the middle of planning their future podcast episodes. Kelley had been in contact with Warner up until the day before the fatal incident. "We'd been texting up until the day before," she recalls of Warner. "He texted me from the plane to say he was tired, then sent off a five-paragraph email [about work.] I was like, 'You're heading off to Costa Rica and you want to talk business and the future? OK!' We were texting every day while he was there until the day before, and then I was like, 'Where did he go?'" After learning the tragic news, Kelley says it hit her incredibly hard. "We'd only recently talked about death because I'd take a bereavement class, and he wanted to know what I learned," she says. "The ebb and flow of death is that you just don't know when it happens. You're never prepared." Despite grappling with the massive loss of her colleague, she still hopes to continue his mission of seeing different portrayals of Black people in the media. "He really was on a mission in making sure that the tropes about the Black community are not continued," she says. Similarly to The Cosby Show, where Warner played Theo Huxtable, the middle child in an upper-middle-class Black family in New York in the '80s, Warner wanted to continue seeing different types of Black lives in the media — which is the intention behind Not All Hood. "We'd have these conversations because all the dramas on TV are about gangs and the streets and drugs and kingpins," Kelley says. "But a lot of people don't know that he often turned down a lot of parts in these types of shows. He'd say, 'It's good writing, but it's not a good message.'" She continues, "The podcast was a continuation of what he wanted to show, which is that we're not all the same; here are some different facets of our lives... He really, really cared about carrying the torch that he had from The Cosby Show, and that torch was, 'Remember how they see us and do not co-sign.'" "Because we have options and can do better, we can change how we're seen and really in that way change the course of humanity," she adds. Looking ahead, Kelley plans to keep Warner's legacy and impact alive. She says their podcast will continue, but the first episode without Warner will be a tribute called "Malcolm Left the Mic On," and will air Friday, July 25. "We have a lineup of people from The Resident, and so Tori's going to come on, Erika Alexander, different people, but it will mostly be people from the community because I have hundreds of people who just want to share what he meant to them. So we said, 'Let's open it up to callers,'" she explains. Despite the hole left by his death, she says she'll never forget about his talents, and his kindness as a human. "In the Atlanta music scene, Malcolm was on fire and adored," she says of the actor's side gigs. "He would often bring music into discussions. It was an absolute passion that moved him. He performed every first Thursday at Buteco, a venue in Grant Park, with his band Biological Misfits. He'd play a mean bass, sing, and do poetry. I went on May 1, and it was amazing. It was a thing." Also amazing was the fact that child stardom never derailed him. Warner starred on the sitcom from 1984 to 1992 and was a teenager at the time, but Kelley says, "The shoe never fell." "His other biggest mission, besides his family, was just being a good person," she adds. "He wanted to be remembered like that; he has said that, he just wants to be remembered as a good person, and by all accounts, he's got that down. He really did. That was really sincere." Warner had previously expressed similar sentiments on the podcast. In his final interview on May 21, he admitted that he thought about his legacy "a lot." "There's part of me that I will be able to leave this earth knowing — and people knowing — that I was a good person," he remarked. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Warner said his father once told him that people love him because of his career and success. However, his dad was most proud was that his son was a good person. "I'm a good person because my dad's a good person," Warner gushed. "It is possible to walk through this world and, with all of the darkness in the world, it is possible to maintain your soul and be a good person."
