Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda Hogan, is criticizing the 2025 Emmy Awards for omitting the late wrestler from its “In Memoriam” segment.

Linda, 66, suggested to Entertainment Weekly in a story published on Monday, September 15, that Hulk (real name: Terry Bollea) did not make the cut because of his political views.

“I can’t prove that,” she acknowledged of the smooth-running Emmys telecast, which was hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, who avoids talking politics. “It’s just a guess, but they should have named him!”

Linda, who was married to Hulk from 1983 to 2009, added, “WWF at the top of the hour when he came on to wrestle…[Hulk] had the highest ratings on NBC, beating all other competition for that time slot for years!”
