Wrestling surely isn’t for the faint-hearted. Apart from sacrificing one’s well-being, a performer has to deal with various personal issues of their own. While the gimmicks portrayed by an athlete might create a larger-than-life illusion. They too have a life of their own to which they go back after entertaining fans. Hulk Hogan is certainly one of the biggest names to have come from wrestling. Many facets of his life were discussed in the 2008 documentary ‘Hulk Hogan and Family’. Including a tough time for the family concerning son Nick Hogan.

The Hulkster was set on a path of surreal domination, particularly in the era of the 80s. The wrestling fans had never quite encountered such a phenomenon as he was. However, like anyone, he had to deal with some tough moments in his personal life. His son, Nick Hogan’s arrest, shook the entire household. Daughter Brooke and The Immortal One agreed that it’s one of the best things that has happened to junior Hogan.

He said, “Nick wasn’t appreciative enough he didn’t realize you know what his priorities were. And I think for whatever crazy reason this has all happened to make Nick not a good person, to make him a great man“.
