A bizarre and emotional moment stunned mourners Tuesday night as a cloud shaped like Hulk Hogan’s legendary victory pose appeared above his funeral in Florida. The uncanny sight was captured just as the sun dipped below the horizon near Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, the location of the wrestling icon’s public memorial service.

Dee Jay Silver, a longtime friend of Hogan’s, was among those who spotted the sky formation and shared the image online. The moment didn’t go unnoticed by Hogan’s inner circle either. Reality TV personality and Hogan pal Bam Margera posted the photo to Instagram, writing, “If this isn’t a sign, then I don’t know what is.”

The moment added an almost surreal layer to an already emotional day. Hogan’s funeral was packed with stars and fellow legends. Musician Kid Rock, comedian Theo Von, WWE icon Triple H, and numerous others showed up to pay their respects. The ceremony was filled with stories, laughter, and tributes to the man who once defined an era of professional wrestling.

But one high-profile absence raised eyebrows—Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, chose not to attend. In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram, Brooke explained that her father hated funerals and asked that his be kept low-key. “My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” she wrote. “As his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how… privately… the way that made me feel the closest to him.”

Instead, Brooke commemorated her father’s life at a beach near their home—a place where the two shared many personal memories.

Hogan, born Terry Bollea, passed away on July 24 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Florida residence. The news of his sudden death rocked the wrestling world and millions of fans worldwide who grew up watching him tear down opponents with his iconic leg drop and command crowds with his unforgettable charisma.

Though Hogan had distanced himself from WWE’s corporate machine in recent years, his influence remained undeniable. Tributes poured in from wrestlers across multiple generations, with fans of all ages sharing memories, photos, and videos of the man who told them to “say their prayers and eat their vitamins.”

For decades, Hogan was the face of professional wrestling, turning the WWF (now WWE) into a cultural juggernaut in the 1980s and later transforming into a reality TV mainstay. His personality, larger-than-life antics, and signature “Hulkamania” brand left an indelible mark on American pop culture.

The symbolic appearance of a Hulk-shaped cloud now joins a growing list of tributes celebrating the man’s legacy. Whether it was a coincidence, wishful thinking, or something more, for those gathered outside the church that evening, it felt like Hogan was flexing one last time for his fans.

The wrestling world may have lost a legend, but Tuesday’s unexpected sky display offered a reminder: heroes never truly leave—they just take their victory pose in the clouds.
