Who will attend Hulk Hogan's final memorial? Family, friends, and wrestling icons expected
Professional wrestling world is getting ready for a personal goodbye to one of its most recognisable faces Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea died on July 24, 2025, at age 71 of cardiac arrest related to chronic lymphocytic leukemia and will be remembered at a privately held memorial service on Tuesday, August 5 in the Tampa–Clearwater, Florida area. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The event, which has been organized by Hogan's family, will be a final send-off for friends and family at varying degrees of separation from the late wrestling icon. Sky Daily and Brooke Hogan's strained bond takes the spotlight Hulk Hogan's immediate family will be in attendance, including his wife, Sky Daily, his daughter, Brooke Hogan, and Nick Hogan. Brooke herself has not been seen, perhaps due to some reported tension over her father's personal life and remarriage. Nick, however, has stayed largely in the public eye in his father's tributes, and will probably attend the service with his wife Tana Lea. Some notable WWE stars, some of Hulk Hogan's closest personal friends, are expected to attend the private ceremony at Clearwater. Among the legends who have offered their condolences and tales regarding Hogan as a pioneer and difference maker in the world of pro wrestling are Vince McMahon, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kane, Triple H, and a few more. What does Hulk Hogan's memorial service mean to the wrestling community? The memorial service, unlike a huge public gathering, is a deliberately small, intimate one, a place for those closest to Hogan to mourn and to reminisce. Emotional tributes, tales of Hogan's legacy in the sport of boxing, and prayers for the repose of his soul will likely mark the occasion. While the service has been private, fans have been paying tribute around the world. This weekend, footage of his son Nick fighting back tears went viral, while Monday Night Raw and SummerSlam recently paid tribute to his larger-than-life persona and entrance music. Also Read: While most former wrestlers have been united in awe and respect for Hogan, some have reacted to his legacy with great ambivalence, if not outright disdain. The aftershocks of Hulkamania were felt beyond the future of pro-wrestling, penetrating pop culture itself.

Jung Il-woo gears up for 'Brilliant Days' release; his inspiring comeback story will help you beat those mid-week blues
Jung Il-woo in the drama 'Brilliant Days' Who knew a casual dip into school theatre could launch a star? Jung Il-woo sure didn't. As a reserved high schooler with zero acting ambitions, he joined the drama club on a whim and starred in "Our Twisted Hero" during a festival. The rush from the audience's cheers? Absolute magic, shattering his introverted ways and igniting a passion he never saw coming. His parents were his biggest cheerleaders, diverting academic pressures to his studious sister and urging him to chase what excited him. Fast-forward to cutthroat auditions, he beat 400:1 odds for a role in the hit sitcom "High Kick!", catapulting him to instant celebrity status. But here's the funny part - he initially figured every actor explodes after one project. However, that was not the case. His roaring 20s were the classic young adult grind, pushing limits. The Shocking Health Reveal Talk about a plot twist no one sees coming - at 27, Jung was hit with a brain aneurysm diagnosis, that pesky swollen vessel lurking like a silent alarm waiting to go off. This could've scored him a full military exemption in Korea, where service is a rite of passage, but he opted for alternative duty instead, spending time at a nursing home aiding dementia patients. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Expresses Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo The push? His mom's no-nonsense advice: "You still have to serve," coupled with his fear that hiding the condition would sabotage his career in the public eye. This unexpected halt became a blessing in disguise, prompting multiple soul-searching treks along the Camino de Santiago , where he reflected deeply and reshaped his frantic mindset into one of calm appreciation for the now. These days, he's acing management with regular check-ups, brushing off the odd headache like it's no big deal. Grand Return to the Screen After a solid three-year hiatus, Jung is back and better in "Brilliant Days," a charming family melodrama that dives into life's glittering highlights, whether from the past, present, or future horizons. He steps into the shoes of Lee Ji-hyuk, a sharp, all-around achiever who's nailed both career highs and romantic wins with cool precision. During a fun TV spot, he shared laughs about the role's appeal - imagine a character so driven and loyal, it'd be a total catch in real life, though maybe a tad busy with all those talents! The drama's vibe is all about universal 'brilliant' moments, like crushing a major milestone or savouring everyday joys, wrapped in heartfelt family ties and twists. Expanding on the fun, filming brought out his reflective side post-health scare, infusing the project with genuine depth and a witty nod to life's unpredictable rhythm, making it relatable for anyone who's ever hit pause and come back swinging.
