Brooke Hogan's glad her father was there to walk her down the aisle before he tragically passed ... even though it was for a fake wrestling event.

Hulk Hogan's daughter posted a clip from TNA Wrestling back in 2013 where she's all dolled up in a wedding gown ... and, her dad comes out in a tuxedo and black durag to walk her into the ring.

It was all part of a storyline in which Brooke and wrestler Bully Ray were romantically involved ... but, since Hulk didn't walk her down the aisle at her own wedding, Brooke says she's happy she at least has this to remember fondly.

Brooke Hogan is now offering to pay for an autopsy for Hulk ... saying Thursday she believes there's still "speculation and uncertainty" surrounding her dad's death.

The wrestling legend's daughter extended the proposal on her Instagram page ... just a day after Hulk's wife, Sky, revealed they haven't yet cremated the icon "as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first."

Brooke said she'd personally cut the check for any invoice a medical examiner required ... writing, "if that's what it takes to get it done."
