Sylvester Stallone, John Cena, Ric Flair and other famous names are paying tribute to Hulk Hogan. The wrestler passed away at age 71 on July 24. His manager Chris Volo confirmed the WWE legend's death to NBC LA and said he was surrounded with family at the time of his passing.

Before The Rock morphed into movie star Dwayne Johnson, and well-before John Cena traded his jorts for a Peacemaker helmet, Terry “ Hulk Hogan ” Bollea made the leap from a professional-wrestling ring to Hollywood.

Hulk Hogan was part of many memorable matches and storylines but a dream match between him and John Cena never happened in WWE. Hogan had his last WWE match against Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2006. He retired in 2012.
