Brooke Hogan’s heartfelt poem for Hulk Hogan from 2015

In 2015, Brooke Hogan shared a post on her Facebook page covered by Business Insider. In the poem, she talked about how Hulk Hogan is a tender person that people weren’t looking back then. The title of the poem was ‘If you know my father’.

Brooke wrote, “If you knew the dad I knew, you’d know his tender heart. He’d never want to hurt his fans, or family from the start. If you knew my father, you would know how hard he fought… and the way it brought a smile to people light, medium and dark.”

She added, “We always fight a battle that people never see, and sometimes when you’re hurting, you don’t think logically. Human isn’t perfect and perfect is not he, but I can tell you one thing it’s just what it seems. Cause If you knew the dad I knew, you’d know he raised me well. He taught me folks are so much more than shades could ever tell.”

‘The Immortal One’s’ daughter concluded the poem writing, “And If you knew my father, you would know he’s down to earth. He may have slammed the giant, but remembers life’s true worth. If you knew my father, if you just walk in his shoes…then you would know that microscope that comes with yellow boots”

Clearly, Brooke was not able to see her father going through all the things at the time. Prior to 2015, he had suffered a dark time in his life after his ex-wife left him, his son met with an accident, and also WWE cut all ties with him.
