Hulk Hogan Was Baptized Not Long Before His Death, Called It “The Greatest Day” Of His Life

Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Dies at 71—But Leaves Behind a Powerful Legacy of Faith

The world of professional wrestling is mourning the loss of Hulk Hogan, who passed away at the age of 71. Known for his incredible career in WWE, his towering 6’7” frame, and his unforgettable charisma, Hogan—real name Terry Gene Bollea—was much more than a wrestling icon. In the final years of his life, Hogan opened up about a deeply personal journey: his renewed faith in Jesus Christ.

From Fame to Faith: Hogan’s Spiritual Transformation

While Hulk Hogan made headlines for his wrestling success, wild lifestyle, and business ventures—including his own beer brand—few knew the full extent of his Christian faith.

In 2023, Hogan shared publicly that he had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at the age of 14, but admitted that his spiritual path was not always steady.

“I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was 14, but I derailed.”

Years later, after experiencing personal and professional struggles, Hogan said he hit a breaking point and turned back to God.

“I mean, I just surrendered. I just said, ‘I can’t do it anymore.’ And I went back to the Bible, and I started reading again. And I’m either all the way in or all the way out with whatever I do. So if you’re with me, there’s no guesswork. If I’m with my Lord and Savior, I’m all the way in.”

I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God,the main event theme of surrender,service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord… pic.twitter.com/SxcOJJwtRL

It just seems like such an easy choice for everyone if you’ll just surrender and accept Him as your Savior.”
