Hulk Hogan’s wife, Sky, posted a Friday homage to the professional wrestler, reflecting on his life and legacy.
“I wasn’t ready for this…and my heart is in pieces. He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time,” she wrote in the post on Instagram.
“This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart,” she added.
Hogan died on Thursday at the age of 71 in Florida. The longtime WWE challenger recently claimed his stake in politics with a memorable appearance during last year’s Republican National Convention backing President Trump’s reelection campaign.
“Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him,” Sky said on Friday.
“He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he’s been welcomed home,” she added.
Multiple politicians mourned his Thursday death and shared their condolences for the family. Trump specifically lauded the celebrity for his “cultural impact” through various show appearances and engagements throughout his years of stardom.
“We lost a great friend today, the ‘Hulkster,’” Trump said in a Thursday post on Truth Social shortly after news of Hogan’s death was confirmed.
“Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,” the president said.
During one Fox News appearance, Hulk Hogan said the president considered putting him in his administration.
