Former WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon issued a statement on the passing of Hulk Hogan.

The statement was posted on McMahon’s X account, which is very rarely used.

“The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon,” McMahon wrote.

He continued, “His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled – and made him the consulate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved. He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, ‘Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers.’ Today, we pray for him.”

Hogan and McMahon are credited for sending pro wrestling into superstardom in the 1980s and for years the duo were unstoppable. Their relationship also had some ups and downs but both stayed loyal to each other throughout the years.
