Hulk and Brooke Hogan Contract Letter Rumor Questioned Over Inconsistent Timeline

Brooke Hogan’s emotional revelation about a letter that ended her Sobe Entertainment record deal has taken a new turn — with serious doubts now being raised about whether the backstory told by Bubba the Love Sponge could have even happened the way he described it.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that while the existence of the letter and Hulk Hogan’s alleged involvement could be true, Bubba’s claim that it was tied to a Paul Wight (Big Show) boxing project doesn’t hold up when you look at the actual dates.

“Yeah. So the other night when we were talking — and also I talked with Garrett about this — the deal with the Brooke Hogan thing when it comes to the story that Bubba said about the forged, you know, firing by Sobe Entertainment… OK, so that may all be true. I don’t know that it’s not true. But his timing and what he said it was for is very much not true.”

Bubba claimed Hulk, Eric Bischoff, and Jason Hervey pushed Cecil Barker to fund $3 million for Big Show’s boxing career, and that Brooke’s contract was allegedly dumped to save that money. But the timeline simply doesn’t match.

“Because he said that it was… they were trying to — Hogan and Bischoff and Jason Hervey — were trying to get Cecil Barker to put up $3,000,000 for Paul Wight to become a boxer. So to save money, they dumped Brooke’s contract, or Hulk basically told them, ‘Well, you can dump Brooke’s contract.’ And then Hogan actually wrote the letter claiming it was from Sobe that a contract was dumped.”

The problem is that Big Show’s boxing run was years earlier.

“And I think that they… you know… and all that. So the thing is, when Big Show left to be a boxer, that was 2007. When this letter that they were talking about was written… you know, she got the letter December 25th, Christmas Day, in 2011. So Bubba and Hogan may very well have written the letter — she absolutely did get the letter on Christmas Day 2011, that’s for sure — but it could not have had anything to do with Big Show in boxing, because that was 2007 and Big Show was already back in WWE by 2008. So the boxing thing was years earlier. So that timeline… it just isn’t there. It’s impossible for that story to be true.”

If the boxing angle was never part of the real story, that means Brooke Hogan has been carrying around a version of events that was never accurate to begin with — adding extra drama to an already messy family saga.
