Wrestling Legend and Longtime Cowboys Fan Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71 - Dallas Community Mourns

The world of sports entertainment lost a giant this week, as wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71. But for Cowboys Nation, the loss runs even deeper—not just because of Hogan’s legendary presence in the ring, but because he was one of their own.

A devoted Dallas Cowboys fan for decades, Hogan often sported the star with pride—whether backstage at WrestleMania or in interviews on national TV. He cheered through the highs, stood loyal during the lows, and never shied away from repping the silver and blue.

“Every Sunday, it was Cowboys time, brother,” Hogan once said in a 2016 interview. “Win or lose, they’ve always been my team.”

News of his passing sent shockwaves through both the wrestling world and Cowboys community. Players, fans, and even former coaches took to social media to honor his legacy—not just as a superstar, but as a passionate, vocal supporter of America's Team.

Trevon Diggs posted a simple tribute:

“Rest easy, legend. Cowboys Nation lost a real one.”

Micah Parsons reshared a photo of Hogan in a Cowboys jersey with the caption:

“Never faked his loyalty. That’s real fandom. RIP.”

Though Hogan wasn’t a football player, his larger-than-life persona, unwavering team loyalty, and cultural impact made him a beloved figure in Dallas circles.

From AT&T Stadium to WWE arenas across the globe, the spirit of Hulkamania will live on—and Cowboys fans know they’ve lost more than a celebrity. They’ve lost a brother in the fight.
