The funeral for Terry Bollea a.k.a. Hulk Hogan took place Tuesday in Florida with many attendees, including a rare public appearance by Vince McMahon.
The ousted former chairman of WWE appeared at the funeral in Clearwater, less than two weeks after he was involved in a major car wreck just hours before Bollea died.
McMahon did appear at the Super Bowl and an NBA game earlier this year and posted a message following the news of Bollea’s death less than two weeks ago, calling Hogan “The greatest WWE Superstar of all time”.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Stephanie McMahon, and Ric Flair were in attendance as well as celebrities including Kid Rock, Dennis Rodman, and Theo Von, according to People.
TMZ posted photos of Linda Claridge, John Laurinaitis, and Jeff Jarrett in attendance.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had declared last Friday as “Hulk Hogan Day” within the state.
Bollea died on July 24 at 71 after going into cardiac arrest at his home and was pronounced dead at the hospital. He had been recovering from a significant neck procedure in May.
On the same day as her father’s funeral, Brooke called into The Bubba Love Sponge Show and spoke about the estranged relationship with her father over the last several years.
