Hulk Hogan digs into his life, career, and many controversies — joking that that he knows “where all the bodies are buried” — in a final interview filmed for the upcoming Netflix docuseries, 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 evidenced by the trailer, the doc is set to offer a comprehensive examination of the blurry lines between superstar wrestler Hulk Hogan and the man who played and created him, Terry Bollea.
“Some people hate me,” Hogan says in the clip, “but after I’m gone, I think people want to know the truth. Who was this guy really?”
Through archival wrestling footage and home movies, the trailer highlights the bombastic-yet-family-friendly aura Hogan cultivated during his heyday in the ring. But it also offers a glimpse at Hogan’s heavy partying, chaotic personal life, and the controversies that engulfed him during the final decade of his life. “You really want me to tell the truth?” he quips at one point. “OK. I know where all the bodies are buried.”
Near the end of the trailer, Hogan offers something of an assessment of his two selves, acknowledging: “Terry Bollea was just a human being. But when I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan. The character helps people — that’s all I know.”
Hulk Hogan: Real American is set to premiere April 22. According to a CNN report from last year, production on the doc began in 2024 and over 20 hours of interviews with Hogan were filmed before his death.
