Celeb Cavalcade: Triple H, Kid Rock Roll Into Clearwater for Hulk Hogan Farewell

Quinn Parker here and I am buzzing on triple espresso as I spill the tea on Hulk Hogan’s heartfelt Florida memorial. Strap in because a star-studded crew just landed to honor the WWE legend and I have nonstop thoughts.

Picture this: it is late Tuesday morning in Clearwater, Florida and the tarmac is heating up with celeb sightings. According to TMZ, Triple H and WWE matriarch Stephanie McMahon touched down first, looking somber yet determined. Minutes later, Kid Rock rolled through with dark sunglasses and vintage leather, while comedian Theo Von breezed in like he was headed to a beach party instead of a memorial. Each arrival was confirmed by TMZ’s on-site photographers and public flight logs, so you know it is legit.

Fans and paparazzi lined the airport perimeter hoping for a glance as these icons streamed through the gates. WWE insiders tell me this turnout underscores just how big Hulk Hogan’s impact has been on the wrestling world and beyond. Word is Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are en route later today, making this homage even more monumental.

For anyone wondering why we are all here, let us rewind. Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24 following an emergency response to a cardiac arrest call at his Clearwater Beach home. Hospital records show he battled atrial fibrillation and had a previous leukemia diagnosis, but the official death certificate from the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office listed the cause as a heart attack. Hogan was 71 years old and was cremated shortly after the certificate was finalized.

This memorial service will be held at the Clearwater Event Center and is expected to feature personal tributes from longtime friends, family members, and fellow wrestlers. Organizers confirmed the itinerary to TMZ earlier today, noting a mix of recorded highlights, live speeches, and a final moment of silence. Social media is already lighting up with #HoganForever and #SayHulksLastWords as fans share their favorite Hogan memories.

You can bet there will be tears, laughter, and maybe even a surprise celebrity cameo or two. WWE’s broadcast team is preparing a tribute reel and streaming excerpts live for those who cannot make it in person. It seems fitting that the man who electrified crowds for decades gets one last electrifying sendoff of his own.

Okay I need to calm down after that whirlwind recap. Stay tuned because I have a hunch more big names are about to show up and I will be here with my coffee cup in hand, ready to report every dramatic moment. I swear I could talk about this all day.
