Perhaps the most famous World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star of all time, Hulk Hogan, seemed tough as can be on the outside, but inside, the muscle-bound icon was nothing but a soft and gooey lover of, well, love, as well as "surrender" and "service" of the Lord.
Before he passed away at 71 on July 24, 2025, his religion had become a very important part of his life again. One of his final achievements was that he and his wife recently reaffirmed their faith. Here's what the Hulkamania legend had to say about his journey to finding his faith.
What did Hulk Hogan say about his religion?
Hulk posted photos and videos showcasing his workouts on social media, but he also took to Instagram on multiple occasions to discuss his commitment to Christianity.
The wrestler professed in an April 2023 post, “I accepted Christ as my savior at 14 years old. The training, prayers, and vitamins kept me in the game, but now that I am one with God, the main event theme of surrender, service, and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior. And so it is, even now, brother, AMEN!”
While we don't know exactly what prompted Hulk to recommit himself to Christ, the reality star and his wife, Sky Daily Hogan, were baptized in a Florida church just before Christmas 2023.
Hulk Hogan posted about his baptism, which comes at an interesting point in his life.
"Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!" the wrestler captioned photos and video footage from his and Sky's baptism at Indian Rocks Baptist Church.
The New York Post reports that the couple was married at the same church in September.
The baptism comes on the heels of the WWE alum's son Nick being arrested in Clearwater, Fla. for DUI, which was also reported on by the Post.
Sadly, this wasn't the first time that Nick had a brush with the law. He was involved in a horrible car accident in 2007 that left his friend John Graziano with a severe brain injury.
Meanwhile, the star's daughter, Brooke, wasn't in a good place with her dad. When Hulk got married in 2023, Brooke confirmed that she decided not to attend his latest nuptials — this is the Hogan Knows Best star's third marriage.
"For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values," she explained in part on Instagram.
Hulk continued discussing his religion until he died. The wrestler battled several health issues preceding his death, and, according to TMZ, there were rumors that he was on his "deathbed" in June 2024, though it was later revealed he was dealing with symptoms of a neck procedure.
