Brooke Hogan's Emotional Decision

Brooke Hogan, the daughter of legendary WWE star Hulk Hogan, is feeling the weight of past choices. After the wrestling icon's unexpected passing on July 24, 2025, due to cardiac arrest, Brooke finds herself grappling with regret over a decision made back in 2023. At that time, she chose to remove herself from his will, aiming to steer clear of any family drama.

In a candid chat on the Hollywood Raw Podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Brooke revealed her reasoning: "There were situations that had me so scared," she confessed. "I really took myself off the will because I was actually scared for myself, my family, my safety."

Family Dynamics and Regrets

Brooke, who shares twins with her husband and former NHL star Steve Oleksy, now wishes she had taken a different path. Her regret isn't about the financial aspects but about losing her voice in family matters. "I regret that decision," Brooke admitted. "Not because of the money – I've never been about the money – but because now I don’t have a seat at the table."

Hulk Hogan's estate, valued at an estimated $5 million, named his son Nick Hogan as the sole beneficiary, leaving Brooke without a say in the process. "I can’t get answers, I can’t be part of decisions, and that’s the part that hurts," she lamented.

A Daughter's Tribute

Despite a strained relationship over the years, Brooke set aside any lingering grievances to honor her father's memory with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. She expressed a deep sense of loss: "When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he’s at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined."

Hulk Hogan's widow, Melanie Sky Daily, is listed as a surviving spouse but not a beneficiary, adding another layer of complexity to the family dynamics. Brooke's journey through grief and reflection highlights the intricate bonds and decisions that shape family legacies.
