The death of professional wrestling's most recognizable showman sparked reactions from the worlds of entertainment and politics.

The WWE Hall of Famer, who died on Thursday at the age of 71, had supported former President Barack Obama in 2008.

In an emotional post on social media, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reminisced about his famous bout with Hulk Hogan, who died this week at the age of 71.

Hogan didn't publicly endorse Trump until the convention, citing the assassination attempt against Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as the reason for his announcement.

With his red and yellow wrestling attire, bleached mustache and custom of ripping his shirt open, Hogan ascended alongside the then-WWF.

Pro wrestler Hulk Hogan won one of his most notable victories in a Florida courtroom. Hogan died Thursday at age 71, nearly a decade after he sued the website Gawker for publishing a video that showed him having sex with a friend's wife.

Bubba the Love Sponge, Hulk Hogan's former best friend, discussed the professional wrestler's recent death after their complicated history.
