The wrestling world is still mourning the loss of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan who died in July 2025 aged 71. August 11 would have marked Hogan’s 72nd birthday, a fact that his ex-wife Linda hasn’t forgotten.
Linda took to Instagram to post a framed throwback photo from 1981, showing the couple in a warm embrace. While the pair divorced years before Hulk’s death, Linda made clear she misses her friend.
“Me and Hulkster. 1981 Happy Birthday Terry. I love and miss you so much.”
Hogan’s death left a massive void in professional wrestling, with WWE paying tribute to him across SmackDown, Raw, and NXT. Several promotions, including TNA Wrestling, would also share their tributes to Hulk Hogan, a testament to the influence he had on the wrestling world.
Few people knew Hulk Hogan better than Linda and her tribute is much more than honoring a notable wrestler. Our thoughts remain with Linda and the Hogan family at this difficult time.
