Florida To Recognize Hulk Hogan Day On August 1

August 1st will be Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made the declaration on July 31st. DeSantis said both the United States and Florida state flags to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset at both the state capitol in Tallahassee and government buildings in Pinellas County.

In honor of a great Floridian, Hulk Hogan, we are lowering the flags at the capitol and in Pinellas County tomorrow. Additionally, I am officially declaring tomorrow, August 1st, 2025, as “Hulk Hogan Day” in Florida.

Rest in peace, brother.
