On Thursday, WWE legend Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea, aged 71, suffered a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. Emergency crews were dispatched early that morning, but were unable to revive him.

On 83 Weeks, Bischoff revealed he received a text message from Mike Johnson of PW Insider on the morning of Hogan's death on July 24. Johnson heard news about The Hulkster's condition but did not want to report anything. Moments later, Bischoff went back to his hotel room and saw confirmation of his friend's passing on television.
