Hulk Hogan was baptized just 18 months before his tragic death, footage from his social media shows.
“Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!” the wrestling icon wrote in an X post in December 2023.
Footage from the ceremony showed Hogan being dunked into a baptismal pool and coming up smiling – all while wearing his go-to bandana.

His wife, Sky Daily, was baptized alongside him, and the group bowed their heads in prayer after the ceremony.
Hogan died on Wednesday at age 71 — with early reports suggesting he suffered a cardiac arrest at home.
The 2023 baptism also came just months after he and Daily were married in September of that year, according to PEOPLE.

“I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game,” he wrote in a 2023 X post.
“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!” he added.
