NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wrestler Bully Ray got down on his knees last week to propose to Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan. Much to her father's dismay, she said yes and they are due to marry on Thursday, January 17, during the TNA Impact Wrestling Show on Spike TV. But not before Ray throws himself a bachelor party at Rick's Cabaret/NYC, ranked by Playboy.com as the #1 strip club in Manhattan and part of the publicly traded Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ:RICK) group of 35 clubs around the country.

Bully Ray says he is sparing no expense for the bachelor party and has booked the famous Crystal Room of the three-story club, which is just down the street from Madison Square Garden. "I could have had my bachelor party anywhere in the world, but I chose Rick's Cabaret because they have the hottest women, gourmet food and the best booze," he said. Bully Ray said many of his wresting star friends, rock 'n roll musicians and show business pals will attend. He added that he invited Hulk Hogan, but his future father-in-law declined.
"We're geared up for the ultimate bachelor party and will have plenty of vintage cigars that the guys can light up on our rooftop smoking deck," said Ken Sistrunk, general manager of the club.
The wedding is scheduled to take place January 17th during the 8 p.m. show on Spike TV. TNA Impact Wrestling is seen in over 100 countries.
Bully Ray's romance with Ms. Hogan has played out on television over the past several weeks, culminating last week in his proposal to her in the middle of the wrestling ring. The proposal – and Hulk Hogan's angry reaction to it – became a YouTube sensation as it went viral within hours.
