Family and friends of professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan gathered on August 5, 2025, for a private funeral service held at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Clearwater, Florida. The 90-minute ceremony included pallbearers paying special tribute to Hogan, with attendance from prominent figures in sports entertainment, music, and podcasting. Despite being included in the funeral program, Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan did not attend the service, citing years of estrangement and stating that her father "didn’t want" an official memorial. Brooke has publicly detailed her strained relationship with Hogan, describing his final comments to her as "hurtful" and "callous." She has also announced her decision to remove herself from Hogan’s will and threatened legal action against members of his inner circle. Brooke further expressed doubts about the circumstances surrounding her father’s death and offered to fund an autopsy. Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, broke her silence following the funeral, and Brooke has addressed the perceived feud between herself and Daily. Additionally, Vince McMahon is set to appear in an upcoming TMZ special on Hulk Hogan. The wrestler’s passing has prompted discussions on health, with a cardiologist sharing advice on preventing chronic diseases in light of Hogan’s death.
