Brooke Hogan has explained for the first time why she chose not to participate in the Netflix documentary about her late father, Hulk Hogan.
The documentary will be released on Netflix on April 22, 2026, three days after the second night of WrestleMania 42 and five days after the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, during which Hulk Hogan will be inducted into the Immortal Moment category for his WrestleMania III match with Andre the Giant.
Speaking on the Hollywood Raw Podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Brooke revealed that she was approached about being part of the project but made a deliberate decision to stay out of it, rooted in years of watching how her family’s story has been shaped and reshaped for public consumption.
“I was asked, I just didn’t answer. If you know the patterns of people you’ve known your whole life, I knew this was going to be something everybody jumped on. Another chance to be on TV, another chance to be in the pocket. And I didn’t know if people were going to be honest or how it was going to be painted. I didn’t want to be part of a narrative that I’ve seen change 8 million times,” Brooke said.
The full episode of the Hollywood Raw Podcast is available Monday, April 20. Clips are currently available at https://www.tiktok.com/@hollywoodraw.
