Florida Announces They Will Be Putting Flags at Half Mast for ‘Hulk Hogan Day’
Say what you will about Hogan, but we can all agree that he was certainly a Floridian.

If you’re a Floridian, you might have noticed that the flags appear lower than usual. No, that’s not because your horrid state is finally sinking into the sea — instead, it’s because Governor Ron DeSantis has declared August 1st to be “Hulk Hogan Day.”
Why? Well, I don’t know if you heard, but the Hulkster passed away last week. Or, to put it in his words, “The world lost another Hulkamaniac.” Seeing as Hogan’s name was endlessly associated with Florida, it only seems right that they’re honoring him with a holiday.
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. pic.twitter.com/Np5uRZucTa— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) July 31, 2025
How are you supposed to celebrate? That’s up to you, but personally, I’m gonna charge up the video camera and call my friend’s wife.
