Charlotte Flair Shares Emotional Tribute After Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan’s Death
On Thursday, the wrestling world lost a legend. Reports came out that Hulk Hogan had died at the age of 71, with TMZ reporting that it was "cardiac arrest."
TMZ mentioned there was a "slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan's home... and the icon was carried on a stretcher and into an ambulance."
After Hogan's death, a ton of tributes came out, and now one has come from Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte.
"When I nearly lost my dad 8 years ago, one of the few people who was there for all of it was Hulk Hogan. My heart breaks for Nick and Brooke. Rest in peace, brother," Charlotte Flair wrote.

It's a neat story from Charlotte and details just how close the relationship was between the two families.
Ric Flair also posted a message on X after the news came out.
"I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend Hulk Hogan," Flair wrote. "Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn’t Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend!"
In Ric Flair's statement, he also mentioned what Hogan had done for him.
In 2017, Ric Flair was on the verge of death after his intestine ruptured and he was placed into a coma. He then battled skin cancer, but he announced earlier this week he had been cleared and was cancer-free.
Charlotte Flair is a 14-time world champion wrestler, but there is no doubt about the impression Hulk Hogan had on her.
