Hulk Hogan's Daughter Confesses Regret Over His Will

It's been nine months since the passing of pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and it's not a secret that he was not on good terms with his daughter Brooke towards the end of his life.

Things got so bad between Hulk and Brooke that Brooke asked to be removed from her father's will all the way back in 2023, citing a lack of trust for the people in his inner circle that she'd have to deal with. But in a new interview, she revealed that she's come to regret that decision.

Appearing on the Hollywood Raw Podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Brooke Hogan admitted that she even feared for her own safety in getting involved with some of the people surrounding Hulk.

"There were situations that had me so scared," she said. "I really took myself off the will because I was actually scared for myself, my family, my safety."

But Brooke said that she now regrets the decision because she doesn't have any "seat at the table" and can't have any influence over her father's estate.

"There's not enough money in the world that would matter with what I felt I was facing," she said. "I regret that decision. Not because of the money -- I've never been about the money -- but because now I don't have a seat at the table.

"I can't get answers, I can't be part of decisions, and that's the part that hurts," she said.

Hogan's Legacy

Hogan became one of the most recognizable figures in professional wrestling history and a central force in turning the industry into mainstream entertainment. Rising to fame in the 1980s with World Wrestling Federation, Hogan's larger-than-life persona, charisma, and "Hulkamania" movement made him the face of wrestling's national boom. He headlined multiple early WrestleManias, won numerous world championships, and feuded with stars such as Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior.

In the 1990s, Hogan reinvented himself in World Championship Wrestling by turning villain and helping launch the influential New World Order (nWo), a storyline that fueled another wrestling boom period.

Outside the ring, Hogan crossed into movies, television, and pop culture, appearing in films and later starring in the reality show Hogan Knows Best. His career was also marked by controversy, including legal battles, family turmoil, and a major scandal after racist comments from a leaked recording became public in 2015, leading to a temporary separation from WWE before later reinstatement.

Despite those issues, Hogan's impact on wrestling remains enormous: he helped transform pro wrestling into a global business, inspired generations of performers, and remains one of the most famous and polarizing stars the sport has ever produced.
