Hulk Hogan, The Parent

Wrestling has never been on this writer’s list of entertainment things to do, but from what can be observed, mention the name Bautista in certain circles, and right away, some fans of this wrestler will be only too eager to comment on his wrestling skills and or talent.
On a similar note, while flipping through the channels in search of something interesting to watch the other day, another wrestler with a well known name caught my attention. The reason it got my attention is not because this noted wrestler was in the wrestling ring, but in another setting. The show? VH1’s reality show, Hogan Knows Best. The wrestler of course is, Hulk Hogan.
Just out of sheer curiosity, even though I have never actually viewed an episode of this particular show before, I decided to pause a few moments to see what was taking place in that episode.
Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, 16, was going out on a date with a young man who is six years older than she.
Something that did not seem to sit too well with Mr. Hogan. Of course with so much going on these days with kidnappings, psychopaths and pedophiles one can meet in an internet chat room, who can blame him.
He was just doing what any concerned parent would do in a given situation; looking out for his daughter’s interest.
I don’t know much about Hulk Hogan’s wrestling career, but from what I saw on the show with him displaying his concern for his daughter, even the way she was dressing for the date, in this writer’s opinion, that makes him a rather caring father/parent.
Later on in the show when Brooke’s date arrived, Mr. Hogan had a brief conversation with the young man about the things he did not want him to do with his daughter.
No touching, fondling, sex, one gets the idea. And when they were gone, Mr. Hogan even went a step farther by setting up a GPS tracking system on his computer so he could be certain that the young man his daughter was out with was taking her where he said he would.
If that gives a parent a certain peace of mind, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s all right to trust one’s daughter, but sometimes it’s the person she is out with who can make all the difference if the parent feels he/she cannot trust the man his daughter is out with enough with some one he/she will always consider to be his child, no matter how old she is, his/her daughter.
