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.

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.

He took to his social media platform to direct a message to the public. The message seemed reportedly aggressive. However, it's still not clear as to who the message was for. Nevertheless, as per Sports Illustrated, the message was reportedly an encouraging reply to the Chicago Bulls' announcement that they are bringing back their vintage uniform. Dennis Rodman drops bold 4-word message as Chicago Bulls bring back iconic pinstripe jerseys from the 1990s era Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest players in NBA history. His tenure with the Chicago Bulls is what made him most famous. Now, the team announced in a post on Tuesday that they are bringing back their old uniforms for the first time since the 2012-13 season. The vintage jerseys had red pinstripes and were black. Collaborating with the icon, the Chicago Bulls uploaded a video of Dennis Rodman with a caption that read: 'Dennis Rodman has a message for you…' In the video, the NBA giant could be heard saying: 'Pissed Life on Back, baby!' He was seen holding a basketball while sporting a red jacket. The Chicago Bulls also offered a more thorough examination of a few of the specifics. Additionally, Dennis Rodman also briefly discussed his fashion philosophy and the reasons these uniforms were always his favorites. In another video shared by the team, he said: 'I used to wear the jersey all the time.. Only the jersey. This is more like Chicago. It's more original, with the same color scheme. This is my favorite one. No matter what's in the closet, let's make it work. I look at myself as more like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, people that went in their closet and said the hell with it…' Chicago Bulls' vintage jersey is back (Image via X / @CHSN_Bulls) He continued: 'My style started from Chicago. I got bored in 1993, I sort of changed my whole image as far as being the 'bad boy.' I don't care what other people say about what I wear. … These jerseys right here are legendary.' Bringing back the pinstripes will give the fans a chance to relive some of the franchise's glory days. After all, the teams that had Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen , and Michael Jordan in the 1990s frequently had iconic moments.
