Farewell Hulk Hogan: Wrestling Legend, American Icon, and a Loyal Dallas Cowboys Fan

On July 24, 2025, the world of sports and millions of fans around the globe were shocked and saddened by the news: Hulk Hogan – the immortal icon of American wrestling – passed away at the age of 71 following sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. More than just the “King of WWE,” Hulk Hogan embodied unbreakable spirit and positivity for generations – and most notably, he was a dedicated fan of the Dallas Cowboys.

For over four decades, Hulk Hogan was synonymous with legendary victories and the electrifying movement of “Hulkamania” that swept arenas worldwide. Yet, beyond the spotlight, he proudly wore the silver and blue of the Dallas Cowboys – from the gym to major events. Hogan was often seen in Cowboys hats or shirts, sending encouragement and unwavering support to his beloved team throughout his career.

Upon learning of his passing, the Dallas Cowboys released an emotional statement:

“The entire Dallas Cowboys family sends its deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, and fans of Hulk Hogan. He was not only a sports legend, but also a passionate Cowboys fan – always radiating positivity and pride for our team. The image of him in the silver star, on his cap and jersey, will forever remain in our memories. Rest in peace, Hulkster. The Cowboys Nation will always remember you.”

For those who grew up with WWE’s thrilling matches and heard Hogan’s “Let’s go Cowboys!” during every Super Bowl season, this loss is immeasurable. Hogan represented the true spirit of sports: pushing limits, spreading positivity, loving not only wrestling but also football, with the Dallas Cowboys as “the team of his heart.”

Not only wrestling fans, but also the entire Cowboys Nation, have joined in mourning, sharing hashtags like #RIPHogan, #ThankYouHogan, #HulkamaniaForever, and #CowboysNation to honor a legendary supporter and close friend of the team.

Hulk Hogan may be gone, but his “Never Give Up” spirit and love for the Dallas Cowboys will echo on. With respect and admiration, we bid farewell to a true legend – a Cowboys fan who never backed down.
