combatmedic Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 CAR CRASH KILLS WWF CHAMPION HULK HOGAN http://wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/exotics2010nov01/cls_20100908_1.jpg Tampa- WWF World Heavyweight Champion Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea was pronounced dead Monday, after an early morning accident on Dale Mabry Highway. Bollea, 34, was driving his Porsche southbound on Dale Mabry Hwy when he was broadsided by Kelly Upshaw, 23, of Lutz. Tampa Police Department Spokesmen Barry Thatch said that Upshaw was driving drunk when she ran a red light at Waters Ave that killed the professional wrestler. The tragic news sent shockwaves through the WWF, who will have to decide how to replace an immensely popular champion. "Hulk Hogan was a larger than life superhero for so many people." said Vince Mcmahon, owner of the World Wrestling Federation, where Hogan was seen as an iconic hero. "But, before all that, Terry Bollea was a larger than life human. He gave so many people hope that they can overcome the odds. It's a sad day, for everyone." Mcmahon finished, while fighting back tears. http://slam.canoe.ca/WrestlingImages/wrestlemania3.jpg Just last week, Hogan and the WWF were riding high off the success of their closed circut-pay perview venture Wrestlemania 3. Hulk Hogan defeated the legendary Andre The Giant in the main event, in front of 93,173 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. Fans everywhere were awestruck as Hogan was able to bodyslam his arch nemesis, Andre. On Monday, Andre reflected on the legacy that Hogan will leave behind. "I will miss Hogan, very much. We both wanted to be the best and Terry proved that he is the best when he slammed me. There is a huge void in wrestling that no one else will be able to fill. I am just in shock, and feel bad for his family and friends." WWF officals plan to honor Hogan this week, when they return to action on Thursday to film Superstars and on Friday when they film Wrestling Challenge. A planned memorial is being planned for Saturday in Clearwater, where Bollea would often vacation.
