Brooke Hogan has shared how removing herself from Hulk Hogan’s will affected her. She said she regretted no longer having a ‘seat at the table’ regarding legacy decisions.
On Friday night (17 April), Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant’s historic showdown at WrestleMania III was honoured with the Immortal Moment Award at the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
The polarising WWE wrestler was also mentioned by his long-time friend and 2026 Celebrity inductee Dennis Rodman, 64, who wore a T-shirt depicting his likeness.
The event came nine months after Hogan - born Terry Gene Bollea - suffered a fatal heart attack at his home in Florida while recuperating from an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion operation.

Hours before his iconic WrestleMania match was inducted into the wrestling Hall of Fame, Page Six published a report claiming that Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, 37, ‘regretted’ removing herself from his will in 2023.
Following her extraction, Brooke’s younger brother, Nick Hogan, 35, was listed as the sole beneficiary of Hulk’s $5 million estate. His widow, Sky Daily, 47, was marked as a surviving spouse.
The Brooke Knows Best star told the publication that before he died, she served as her father’s ‘protector’ and that she ‘loved him more than anything’ despite their fallout.
Brooke claimed that, at the time, she elected to cut herself off from the Hogan estate for her own ‘sanity’ or ‘safety’.
However, she now has regrets that aren’t motivated by money, but rather because she felt as if she no longer had a ‘place to get answers’.
“There were situations that had me so scared,” the businesswoman said during an appearance on Dax Holt and Adam Glyn’s Hollywood Raw Podcast.
“I really took myself off the will because I was actually scared for myself, my family, my safety.”
Elaborating further, Brooke told Page Six while promoting her new wine brand, House of Stars: “The reason why I regret it is because I do not have a place now to get answers.
“I can’t do anything to help my dad after his death, or to find out answers, or to avenge him in any way, shape or form, because the people that I so badly wanted to get away from are now running the show, which is even more of a nightmare,” she claimed.
During the Hollywood Raw podcast, the mother-of-two added that she deplored her past actions because she no longer had a ‘seat at the table’.
Hogan is set to become the subject of a new Netflix four-part documentary, Hulk Hogan: Real American, which lands on the streaming service on 22 April.
The show, described by Nick as ‘the authority on the Hulk Hogan story’, is an ‘unfiltered’ documentary engineered to ‘reveal the man behind the legend through his final interview’.
Hulk Hogan: Real American is directed by Bryan Storkel.
