Hulkamania is taking over Netflix.
“Hulk Hogan: Real American” (now streaming) reveals how a young man born Terry Gene Bollea – dogged by his dad for not being as strong as his older brother – became a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Famer and helped make the sport what it is today.
In conversations captured last year before his death on July 24, 2025, Hogan walks viewers through the journey of his career, which began under the guise of the masked Super Destroyer. The four-part docuseries continues up until Hogan’s death from a heart attack at age 71.
Hogan’s son, Nicholas Bollea, known professionally as Nick Hogan, says in the docuseries his dad faced complications following a neck surgery before his death. “It was about 2.5 months that we were in and out of hospitals. But he still showed so much resilience and strength in those moments.”
Nick’s mother Linda, Hogan’s first wife, participated in the film, speaking about the excitement of their love story before it fizzled. Hogan’s manager, James “Jimmy” Hart, and fellow wrestlers Bret Hart and Jesse Ventura discuss Hogan’s decades-long career. Even President Donald Trump sits for an interview, at the request of Hogan.
