Brooke Hogan has publicly criticised WWE for its handling of her late father, Hulk Hogan, who died on July 24 at the age of 71. The wrestling icon, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had a long and controversial career with the company, but his daughter has now spoken out about how she believes he was mistreated.
In a statement, Brooke expressed her disappointment with WWE, suggesting that the organisation failed to support her father during his later years. She did not provide specific details but hinted at a lack of respect and appreciation for his contributions to the sport. The Hogan family's relationship with WWE has been strained in the past, particularly after Hulk's racist rant in 2015, which led to his temporary removal from the WWE Hall of Fame.
Hulk Hogan's personal life was marked by turmoil, including a bitter divorce from his first wife, Linda, in 2007. The couple had starred in the reality series Hogan Knows Best from 2005 to 2007, which was intended to boost their children's careers but instead highlighted family dysfunction. Linda filed for divorce amid allegations of infidelity, which Hulk denied.
Brooke, now 37, also had a reality spinoff, Brooke Knows Best, which ran for two seasons. She has been estranged from her father for several years, though the reasons for the rift have not been publicly detailed. Hulk Hogan's legacy remains complicated, with fans remembering his wrestling achievements while acknowledging his personal failings.
