“R.I.P Hulkster, thank you for opening up doors for so many people in the business including myself. There would not be a Kurt Angle, without the American Made, Hulk Hogan. My heart and prayers go out to his family. We lost a real icon today.”

Undertaker posted:

“The wrestling world has lost a true legend. His contributions to our business are immeasurable and for that I am appreciative.

Thank you, Hulk Hogan.”

Stallone, who worked with Hogan on Rocky III, posted to Instagram:

“I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant personality and showman when he was 26 years old. He was absolutely wonderful and his amazing skill made Rocky three incredibly special. My heart breaks. I think that he’s gone…”

A legend. A larger-than-life presence.
Hulk Hogan didn’t just work in this business… he transformed it.

Rest in peace, Hulkster. https://t.co/rbAA9DS5y5

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Hulk Hogan.

During our time working together in WWE & TNA he was alway very nice to me. He was one of the major reason why the industry became mainstream years ago.

Prayers with his family during this difficult time. #icon

Not the best human by any stretch of the imagination, but absolutely the reason so many from my generation became wrestling fans at all.

RIP Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan was one of the most important people in wrestling history. As a kid, you'd never think days like these would come. I appreciate what Hulk did to grow a business that gave a kid like me an opportunity to chase my dream. Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan.

If I’m not obsessed with Rocky III as a 7 year old kid, I don’t stumble upon Wrestlemania I, and the course of my life is drastically different. Thank you Hulk for being an immeasurably huge part of what shaped my career and in turn my life. Beyond grateful that we were friends. pic.twitter.com/czZVtHBdlU

One of the reasons I got into wrestling. Hulk was always so nice to me and was the one celebrity that wanted to see all the kids I brought over from Bermuda. RIP legend. There will never be another. Hulkamania never dies. pic.twitter.com/cPKk68LQJj
