Brooke Hogan declined to even respond to Netflix requests to be in their documentary miniseries about her father. Hulk Hogan: Real American had to make do with archival audio from her, and indeed, she wasn’t even planning on watching.
However, as she told Bubba the Love Sponge, whom she calls Uncle Bubba, when she realized it was going to drop right around the time she’d be seeing him for his birthday, she decided she could at least discuss it with him. Numerous tabloids wanted her reaction, but she kept her thoughts in the extended family, airing them on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show.
“I don’t really know what to say to say,” she said. “I thought I mean for a wrestling fan it captured every single moment of his career from beginning to end. It was a definitely a showcase piece for sure. but it was it in my opinion it was missing about 98% of critical real life factual…I feel like I was living in an alternate universe. I was like, I didn’t realize this is how it went down.”
Regarding the show’s depiction of her father’s health issues, she added, “I was just shocked that they acted like everything that was in there was news to everybody. Like we knew about steroids and we knew about drugs…but there were there were many key things that tie in. There’s many causes for the reaction.”
When Bubba added that he thought the documentary “buried” Brooke, she replied, “Literally buried! Like, ‘She doesn’t exist.'”
