A private funeral service was held on Tuesday evening for Hulk Hogan, where dozens were gathered at Indian Rocks Church in Florida to celebrate the life of the wrestling icon.
Hogan died last month at 71 years old after suffering a heart attack on July 24 at his home in Clearwater, according to the Pinella County medical examiner. He had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes irregular and rapid heart rate.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was baptized at Indian Rocks Church in 2023, and he was laid to rest there surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
WWE icons like Paul “Triple H” Levesque and WWE former co-CEO Stephanie McMahon were among those who attended the service. Other celebrities, including Kid Rock, Bam Margera and more were seen.
The service had a strong police presence, as Largo officers and church security were patrolling the area as well as K-9 dogs. Signs reading, “Private Event,” were at the gates.
For those that couldn’t attend, like President Donald Trump, they paid their respects over social media.
“They are having the ‘Hulkster’s’ funeral today, and I thought everybody would enjoy seeing this picture,” Trump wrote on Truth Social with a picture of him and Hogan arm wrestling.
Hogan’s son, Nick, added in his own social post: “Thank you for being the best dad in the world and thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever.”
