As the WWE enters into a new era over a massive deal signed with ESPN and Disney, many wrestling fans are still feeling torn up about the death of Hall-of-Famer Hulk Hogan in July 2025. The influential athlete’s passing earned plenty of tributes from fellow past and present WWE Superstars, with The Rock offering up a pretty awesome anecdote, and we had our own personal takes on the matter. Obviously daughter Brooke Hogan has also been tied up in her emotions, and opted not to attend her father’s funeral.
A private funeral service was held for Hulk Hogan on Tuesday, August 5, in the Florida church where he was baptized in 2023. Anyone who wasn’t on the guest list was sent away, according to ESPN, with church security and local Largo PD officers patrolling the area, with K-9 dogs involved.
