News about the documentary People magazine.
In the documentary, Hogan talks about his health problems and how his physique has deteriorated.
– I’m fine, but my son has to open the caps of the water bottles for me because I can’t open them myself. It’s quite embarrassing. It keeps me humble and grateful. In my mind, I’m still 35 or 40 years old, Hogan told Netflix a few months before the fatal heart attack.
Hogan was considered a symbol of strength in his career.

Hogan also revealed that after her divorce in 2009, she used wild amounts of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid. He used that powerful painkiller when he appeared in TNA Wrestling.
– My body just had enough. I took fentanyls, two in the morning, stuck them under my gums. I had two fentanyl patches on my legs and they gave me six fentanyl lollipops to eat,” Hogan recalled.
Former wrestling promoter Eric Bischoff said in a documentary series that Hogan was prescribed “a handful of pills that could kill a horse” and “washed them down with a liter of vodka a day.”
