DeSantis has announced that August 1 has officially become "Hulk Hogan Day" in Florida in memory of the WWE icon, and all flags in Tallahassee and Pinellas County will be lowered to honor The Hulkster.

"His larger-than-life personality will be missed, as the “Hulkster” was an icon for many who grew up in the 80s and 90s as well as today. He was a true Floridian through and through," the statement reads. [H/T Wrestling News]

Hogan went down in history as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. His last WWE appearance was on RAW's Netflix premiere in January at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

The Hulkster's friend and manager, Jimmy Hart, appeared on the "Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw" podcast and opened up about that incident, stating the boos devastated Hogan.

"We go out and we had a mixed reaction. You can have 500 people cheering you and one person booing you, but I’ll be darned if that one person doesn’t outshine [the people cheering]. It’s a mixed reaction, but it’s a little bit more boos than anything. That devastated him. That bothered him," Hart said. [H/T: US Magazine]
