The death of Hulk Hogan continues to make headlines, even at his funeral. The ceremony couldn't proceed as planned. According to recent reports, Missy Leslie, wife of Brutus Beefcake, had a confrontation with Linda Hogan, ex-wife of the WWE legend.

The story came to light after B. Brian Blair, former WWF wrestler and attendee at the ceremony, explained what happened in a recent appearance on WrestleBinge. Blair stated that Missy called Linda a "cunt," leading to Missy being escorted out by security.

"Yes, I spoke with Linda. In fact, if you want to hear the real gossip - and of course you do - I'll spill it right now. I was with Linda and I hear the 'C' word, I look up and it was Brutus' wife, Missy. Yes. And Linda called security because she was called that, then she denied it, but I heard it. So they kicked her out," Blair said.

Blair also expressed surprise that Brutus attended the private funeral, especially considering their strained relationship with Hulk Hogan for the past fifteen years. "Yes. Yes. Which is hard to believe after all the badmouthing he did about Terry, you know? I can't believe he went after tearing him apart like that. I mean, they weren't even on speaking terms," Blair commented.

Missy Beefcake's Version

The uproar following Blair's statements led Missy to deny the events, providing her own version of what happened. According to Missy, it was Linda who attacked the Beefcake couple, leading them to be removed from the premises for a different reason.

"I wasn't kicked out. Linda attacked Brutus and put her hand on my face... I was screaming for security... When security arrived, they told us: 'take a seat, everything is fine, we'll handle Linda'," Missy said. "Brutus had a panic attack and we went outside for him to catch his breath. He couldn't come back in," she added.

Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24 at the age of 71 due to a heart attack. However, the legend had also been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Hogan's body will be cremated, as per his family's wishes.

Hogan's funeral took place at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida. The ceremony was attended by numerous wrestling legends and industry personalities, including Vince McMahon, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kevin Nash, Sting, Jimmy Hart, Dean Malenko, Eric Bischoff, and Lex Luger. The pallbearers carried yellow bouquets in honor of the legend's iconic attire.
