display:none works fine on a table row:

<table>
  <tr style="display:none">
    <td>This will not be visible</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Your problem is that you're not wrapping the content in a <td> so it's getting bumped outside the table altogether, and therefore is not being controlled by the tr's styling:

table {border: 1px solid}
<table>
<tr style="display:none">
This is invalid HTML, because it's not inside a table cell.
Note that this sentence is displayed *before* the table rather than inside it.
</tr>
</table>

The display none on the tr does work. See the row 2 in the demo below:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td style="display:none">row 1</td>
    <td>row 1</td>
  </tr>

  <tr style='display:none'>
    <td>row 2</td>
    <td>row 2</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td>row 3</td>
    <td>row 3</td>
  </tr>

</table>
