As the wrestling world gears up for the biggest event of the year, WrestleMania 42, a new documentary about the one and only Hulk Hogan is set to premiere on Netflix in just a few days. However, one notable absence from the documentary has been making waves, and that’s none other than Hulk Hogan’s own daughter, Brooke. In an exclusive interview, Brooke Hogan has finally broken her silence on why she chose not to participate in the documentary.
“A Difficult Decision”
According to Brooke Hogan, the decision to sit out the documentary was not one she took lightly. “It was a tough call, but ultimately, I felt it wasn’t the right time for me to be a part of it,” she revealed. “I love and respect my father, but I’ve also been through a lot in my own life, and I needed some time to focus on myself.”
The documentary, which will be released on April 22, 2026, is set to delve into the life and career of the Hulkster, featuring interviews with those closest to him, including his wife, Linda, and fellow wrestling legends like Ric Flair and Randy Savage. However, Brooke Hogan’s absence from the documentary has raised eyebrows, with many wondering what could have led to her decision.
Family Ties and Personal Struggles
Sources close to Brooke Hogan have revealed that her decision to sit out the documentary was largely driven by personal struggles she’s been facing in recent years. “Brooke’s been dealing with some family drama and personal issues that she’s been trying to keep under wraps,” a WWE insider revealed. “The documentary would have forced her to confront some of the demons she’s been trying to keep hidden, and she just wasn’t ready for that.”
The WWE insider also hinted that Brooke’s decision may have been influenced by her complicated relationship with her father. “Let’s just say that Brooke and Hulk haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, especially in recent years,” the source revealed. “The documentary would have brought up a lot of sensitive topics, and Brooke just didn’t feel like she was ready to deal with them.”
The Impact on the WWE
Brooke Hogan’s absence from the documentary has also raised questions about its potential impact on the WWE. With WrestleMania 42 just around the corner, the WWE is gearing up for one of its biggest events of the year, and the documentary’s release may have overshadowed some of the promotion’s biggest storylines.
However, according to a WWE source, the company is not too concerned about the documentary’s potential impact on the business. “We’re confident in our own content and storylines, and we don’t think the documentary will affect our bottom line,” the source revealed. “Besides, the documentary is more of a nostalgic look back at Hulk’s career, and it won’t affect our current storylines too much.”
A New Chapter for Brooke Hogan
Despite her decision to sit out the documentary, Brooke Hogan seems to be focusing on her own career and personal life. In recent months, she’s been making waves on social media, promoting her own fitness and wellness brand, and hinting at a potential return to the wrestling world.
When asked about her future plans, Brooke Hogan remained tight-lipped, but hinted that something big may be on the horizon. “I’m taking things one step at a time, and I’m excited to see where life takes me,” she revealed. “I’m just focusing on being the best version of myself, and if opportunities come along, I’ll be ready.”
As the world waits with bated breath for the Hulk Hogan documentary, one thing is certain: Brooke Hogan’s decision to sit out the documentary has been a long time coming, and it’s clear that she’s ready to start a new chapter in her life.
