Vince McMahon has issued a statement about Hulk Hogan‘s untimely passing.
Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan passed away on Thursday morning. He was 71 years old and passed away after a medical incident at his Clearwater, Florida home.
Tributes from all over the wrestling world continue to be shared. This includes remarks from some of his best friends and greatest rivals, like the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Now, former WWE owner Vince McMahon has issued a statement on Hulk’s death. McMahon praised Hogan as the biggest WWE Superstar ever, offering a prayer for the fallen WWE legend.
“The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon,” McMahon wrote.
“His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled – and made him the consumate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved. He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, ‘Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers.’ Today, we pray for him.”

The post is a rare public statement from McMahon, the former WWE Chairman. He has been in the public eye less frequently in recent years due to being embroiled in a sexual assault lawsuit.
The pair worked closely during the “Golden Era” of WWE in the 80s, and later became on-air rivals during Hogan’s return in the early 2000s. Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon was one of the premier matches at WrestleMania XIX in 2003.
