Brooke Hogan’s Unexpected TNA Wedding Walk with Hulk Hogan
Kai Montgomery here. Look, I don’t want to be the one to say it, but here we are. Brooke Hogan is taking us down memory lane with an emotional flashback from a 2013 TNA Wrestling storyline — and yes, it involves her father, Hulk Hogan, walking her down a pretend aisle.
In a new social media post, Brooke dug up the clip showing her in a full bridal gown, complete with veil, as she prepared to “marry” wrestler Bully Ray in front of thousands of chanting fans. Out strides Hulk Hogan in a sharp tuxedo and his signature black durag, ready to give his daughter away — at least in kayfabe. TMZ first reported the resurfaced video, and Brooke’s caption reveals that she teared up the moment her dad slipped into character.
“He was telling me it was just for work,” Brooke recalled, referencing her father’s reminder that the dramatic entrance was part of a scripted storyline. Still, she admitted feeling a real surge of pride and emotion as though it had been her actual wedding. Brooke credits then-TNA executive Dixie Carter with pointing out how strongly the segment resonated, even behind the scenes.
This staged “wedding” held deeper meaning because Hulk Hogan never walked Brooke down the aisle at her real-life wedding to husband Steven Oleksy. In fact, Brooke and Hulk were estranged for several years prior to his death. Sources tell TMZ that Hulk was making an effort to mend fences before his passing in 2023. Brooke’s absence from his funeral was notable, and her spouse later quipped that he no longer “does weddings or funerals,” hinting at lingering tension.
Despite the complicated family history, Brooke insists that this ring-walk moment remains a cherished memory. She appreciates having tangible proof of a lighter, loving side to her dad — even if it was all part of a wrestling promotion. The video has since sparked reactions from wrestling fans across social platforms, with many applauding the raw emotion she displayed.
Brooke’s willingness to share this TNA throwback shines a light on the personal dynamics hidden beneath the flashy world of sports entertainment. It’s a reminder that, behind every storyline, wrestlers and their families carry real experiences and feelings. For Brooke, this clip stands as proof that she and her dad had moments of genuine connection, scripted or not.
So what’s next for Brooke Hogan? Will she revisit more of those nostalgic wrestling segments or finally open up about her current relationship with her father’s legacy? Stay tuned — I’m not thrilled to admit it, but this story isn’t over yet.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
