Former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon had delivered remarks at WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan’s funeral service, with footage now appearing in the Netflix docuseries Hulk Hogan: Real American.
The moment marks a rare public appearance by McMahon following his departure from WWE in January 2024.
Hogan passed away on July 24 last year, prompting tributes across the wrestling industry. While McMahon did not appear during WWE’s televised memorial, he attended the private funeral service where several wrestling legends gathered to honor “The Immortal One.”
McMahon Leads Final Standing Ovation
The fourth and final episode of the Netflix series includes footage from the funeral service. McMahon recalled how Hogan consistently received standing ovations after his matches throughout his career.
“At the end of every match, they give him a standing ovation. So what I’m suggesting to all of you is that we give Hulk Hogan his very last standing ovation right now,” McMahon said from the podium.
McMahon then applauded as attendees joined in for a final tribute to the wrestling icon. The clip was shared on social media as the docuseries premiered.
Notable Inclusion Despite WWE Separation
McMahon’s appearance in the documentary is significant given WWE’s public distancing from him after his departure. The series features multiple wrestling figures reflecting on Hogan’s legacy and impact on the industry.
The Hulk Hogan: Real American docuseries is currently streaming on Netflix.
