WWE’s co-founder, Vince McMahon, recently opened up on being upset after he was not invited by the Stamford-based promotion for a major program related to the late, great Hulk Hogan. The company has been paying tribute to The Hulkster almost every week since his unfortunate passing.
Hulk Hogan was one of the greatest names to ever step inside the squared circle. The WWE legend put professional wrestling on the map alongside Vince McMahon in the 1980s. The Hulkster, unfortunately, passed away on July 24, 2025, at 71. Since then, the Triple H-led creative team has been paying tribute to the legend during their shows, including a ten-bell salute, which was attended by the current roster and several legendary names.
A clip from TMZ‘s documentary, The Real Hulk Hogan, has been doing the rounds on social media. In the clip, the host highlighted that Vince McMahon was not invited by WWE for Hulk Hogan’s ten bell salute despite the history and friendship between the two. The host also wondered if McMahon was having a lot of mixed emotions after being omitted by the Stamford-based promotion.
Mr. McMahon then agreed with the host, saying that he wasn’t happy about not being invited.
“It struck me that way as well,” he said.
