At 79, Vince McMahon FINALLY Breaks Silence About Hulk Hogan’s Tragic Death

Wrestling world shaken. A legend gone. A silence finally broken.

In a moment many fans have waited for with bated breath, WWE Chairman Emeritus Vince McMahon, now 79 years old, has finally spoken out following the shocking death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan—his most legendary creation and the face of an era that defined millions of childhoods.

And his words? Both deeply personal and profoundly reflective.

🤝 The Bond That Built an Empire

Though their relationship had its fair share of ups, downs, lawsuits, and reconciliations, Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan were synonymous with the birth of modern wrestling. From WrestleMania I to global superstardom, they built a billion-dollar empire together—one flex, one promo, one body slam at a time.

But in recent years, their once indestructible bond had grown distant. Hogan had moved on. McMahon had stepped back. And yet, when Hogan passed, it hit McMahon harder than anyone expected.

“He wasn’t just the face of WWF,” McMahon said quietly.
“He was wrestling. He changed everything.”

🗣️ “We Made Each Other… And We Almost Broke Each Other”

In his emotional statement, McMahon didn’t shy away from the complicated history between himself and Hogan. He acknowledged their monumental successes, but also the fallout, the scandals, the silence.

“We made each other,” he said.
“And for a while, we almost broke each other. But no matter what was said, what was done… I always loved the man beneath the bandana.”

Sources say McMahon was informed of Hogan’s passing during a closed-door meeting and reportedly excused himself, “visibly shaken.”

💔 “There Will Never Be Another Hulk Hogan”

In his brief public statement, McMahon called Hogan “the last of the true immortals.” A man whose image transcended wrestling, Hollywood, pop culture, and even his own controversies.

“There will never be another Hulk Hogan,” McMahon said flatly.
“Because there will never be another moment like the one we shared with him. He made the impossible feel real.”

🌟 A Quiet Tribute Behind the Curtain

Though not present at any public memorial, McMahon reportedly sent a private letter to Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, expressing his condolences and praising her father’s enduring legacy.

The letter, described as “raw and handwritten,” ended with a single, haunting line:

“Thank you for lending the world your father. He belonged to all of us, but I know he was yours first.”

🕊️ Moving On, But Never Forgetting

At 79, Vince McMahon has outlived many of the stars he helped build. But none hit harder than this one. No matter the pain, the betrayals, or the headlines—they were forever intertwined.
