Wrestling World Pays Tribute To The Legend Dolly Parton
The entertainment world lost the legendary Dolly Parton on Tuesday at the age of 80.
Parton was best known for her hits like Islands In The Stream, Jolene, and 9 To 5, but on top of being one of the greatest entertainers of all time, she was also a highly-regarded philanthropist and regarded as one of the nicest humans ever.
Though she never appeared on wrestling television, she did work with Hulk Hogan on the song “Headlock on My Heart” where she married Hogan.
Being an entertainment icon, many in the wrestling world shared their condolences for Dolly.

Dolly Parton was an icon among icons. There isn’t a woman in country music — heck, there isn’t a woman chasing a dream in any business — who isn’t walking a road she paved first. She did it in rhinestones and heels, on… pic.twitter.com/Xeo7OrOPnm
