Hulk Hogan digs deep into his life, career and many controversies in his latest interview – and jokes that he knows “where all the bodies are buried.” This can be seen in the coming one Netflix documentary series Hulk Hogan: Real American.
The four-part series was directed by Bryan Storkel and was reportedly in the middle of filming when Hogan died last July. As the trailer shows, the documentary promises a comprehensive examination of the blurred lines between wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan and the man who created and embodied him: Terry Bollea.
“Some people hate me,” Hogan says in the clip, “but when I’m gone, I think people want to know the truth. Who was this guy really?”
Between the ring and reality
Using archival wrestling footage and personal home videos, the trailer showcases the bombastic yet family-friendly aura that Hogan cultivated during his heyday in the ring. At the same time, he offers a look at Hogan’s excessive partying, his chaotic private life and the scandals that would overtake him in the last decade of his life. “You really want me to tell the truth?” he jokes at one point. “Ok. I know where all the bodies are buried.”
Towards the end of the trailer, Hogan takes stock of his two selves: “Terry Bollea was just a man. But when I went into that ring, Brother, I was Hulk Hogan. The character helps people – that’s all I know.”
“Hulk Hogan: Real American” opens April 22nd. According to a CNN report last year, filming began in 2024 and more than 20 hours of interview footage with Hogan were recorded before his death.
