Hulk Hogan's Funeral: Brooke Hogan May Not Attend
Hulk Hogan, the iconic professional wrestler known as Terry Bollea, passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71. His funeral is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, 2025, at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home in Tampa, Florida. However, it seems that at least one family member, Brooke Hogan, may not attend the service.
Brooke Hogan, Hulk Hogan's daughter, stated that WWE did not extend an invitation for her to attend her father's tribute. The funeral service, which was held at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida, was a private and intimate affair, limited to immediate family and close friends. The family's decision to keep the details of the ceremony undisclosed for privacy reasons could be a factor limiting attendance.
Despite any potential disagreements, Brooke Hogan has expressed that she and her father never had a 'big fight.' In a recent post, she detailed their complicated relationship, stating they shared a deep, sacred bond. Brooke also offered her support to her father in private phone calls about personal and business issues.
Brooke moved down to Florida to be near her father due to his age and multiple surgeries. She was noticeably absent from the WWE SummerSlam 2025 event held two days after her father's death. Nick Hogan, Brooke's brother, attended the event and appeared to fight back tears during a tribute.
Hulk Hogan was diagnosed with leukemia at the time of his passing. The exact amount he inherited after suing Gawker for releasing his sex tape is not provided in the text. He will be cremated at Pinellas County Forensic Center in Clearwater, Florida, though a specific date for his cremation hasn't been announced.
Despite the private nature of the funeral, several prominent wrestling figures and close friends attended, such as Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Kid Rock. Brooke Hogan expressed gratitude for the love, tributes, and memorials from her father's fans and friends.
In a recent interview, a spokesperson for the cremation center confirmed they've received a request for cremation approval for Hulk Hogan. Brooke Hogan begged her father to rest and take care of himself in the days leading up to his passing.
Hulk Hogan's legacy as a professional wrestler and cultural icon will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come. Despite any personal differences, it is clear that his family and friends hold him in the highest regard.
