Florida’s quote of the day

"Even in heaven, he sold out again."

-- Ric Flair

Friends and colleagues of Terry Bollea, the pro wrestler better known to the world as Hulk Hogan, gathered Tuesday evening to say goodbye to the Clearwater resident.

Bollea died July 24 at age 71.

Law enforcement vehicles escorted the funeral procession through Pinellas County, where Bollea lived for decades and where a restaurant and beach shop still bear his name.

During the service at Indian Rocks Baptist Church, Bollea’s casket was covered in red and yellow flowers, the colors of his WWE wrestling costume.

Musician Kid Rock, podcaster Theo Von and TV personality Bam Margera were in attendance, as well as pro wrestling legends Ric Flair, who lives in Tampa, Paul “Triple H“ Levesque and Vince McMahon.
