Hulk Hogan was best known as one of professional wrestling’s true superstars.

Hogan headlined the very first “WrestleMania” event at Madison Square Garden and defined the art of professional wrestling in America.

After the peak of his wrestling career, Hogan’s personal life was the subject of great interest.

Things became entirely bad for him after recordings of intimate videos and private conversations damaged his public reputation.

Hogan passed away this week at the age of 71, and it seems that he died before he was able to mend things with some members of his family.

His fractured relationship with his daughter, Brooke Hogan, was heavily reported on.

TMZ is now reporting that Brooke has informed people close to her that she is “Grateful” she had one final chance to tell her father, Hulk Hogan, she loved him.

“Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ … she learned of her dad’s death Thursday morning when her brother, Nick, texted her husband to share the news. We’re told the father-daughter relationship had been fractured for some time — the result of a culmination of issues over the years and how Hulk treated Brooke.”
