The wrestling world is in mourning, as wrestler Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, died of cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, according to reports in the United States.
The news shocked the wrestling world, not only in the United States but also worldwide, leading multiple companies and stars to offer their condolences for the death of the former WWE star.
Among the many condolences is that of the Puebla government, led by Alejandro Armenta, who expressed his sincere condolences on his social media accounts (X and Facebook) following the death of Hulk Hogan.
“The ring is in mourning. Hulk Hogan, a legend, an immortal mustache, and a battle cry that resonated for generations, has passed away. Thank you for the holds, the ropes, the show, and the heart in the ring. Rest easy, champ,” the agency stated.
Although many consider it a noble action, criticism of the Puebla government was swift, as many social media users argued that there are more important things in the state than offering condolences to a wrestler.
Many comments addressed the lack of basic services within the state, such as potholes, lighting, and insecurity, among others, thus angering social media users who demanded that they address issues that truly matter.
They also referenced the words of the Puebla government, as many expressed that if “the ring is in mourning,” they can’t imagine that other sports areas within the state would be in trouble.
Another comment complained about the desire to go “viral,” as many carry out these acts due to the trends on social media. Following the death of Hulk Hogan, his name is mentioned worldwide.
Finally, in addition to calling for greater state security and investigations into matters that truly matter, social media users claimed that Hulk Hogan had done nothing for Puebla, so they didn’t share their condolences.
Hulk Hogan died at the age of 71. He is considered one of the legends of wrestling in the United States, having performed in the biggest companies such as WWE, WCW, and TNA. He was the leader of a movement called “Hulkmania” and appeared in several films.
Hogan was involved in various controversies both in the ring and in his personal life, but many fans remember him for what he gave to wrestling.
