10 People Who Had No Business In Professional Wrestling
8. Brooke Hogan
Brooke Hogans claim to fame is being Hulk Hogans daughter, and appearing on Hogan Knows Best, and her incredibly successful and influential music career. Okay, just kidding about the last one. Well, to be fair, she did have one top 40 hit, which is one more than I have, but that was it. Her first album sold 127,000, and her follow-up sold 15,000. The writing was on the wall, Brooke would not be the next Britney Spears.
But there were movies to fall back on right? Just like her father starred in the cinema classics Suburban Commando and Santa With Muscles, Brooke burst onto the scene with Sand Sharks, and 2-Headed Shark Attack. Well, when her shark related motion pictures dried up, Brooke was out of options and followed her father into wrestling.
The problem is, Brooke wasnt athletic, had no interest in training, and if youd watched Hogan Knows Best (for some reason, most likely because of the threat of torture) you, knew she didnt really care or like wrestling that much. It was a horrible combination, and nepotism at its worst. Poor Dixie Carter was conned into opening her wallet (or her parents wallets) and hiring Brooke thinking she would...I dont know...attract the 37 fans of hers?
Well, to the surprise of no one, Brooke didnt boost ratings, she was laughably made the authority figure of the Knockouts Division, married Bully Ray, didnt wrestle a single match and disappeared. Its doubtful well ever see her in a prominent wrestling role ever again.
