Overview
- Hulk Hogan: Real American, a four-part docuseries that premiered Wednesday, April 22, 2026 on Netflix, features the wrestler’s last recorded interview before his July 2025 death from a heart attack.
- In that interview, Hogan says he reached a breaking point during his 2007–2009 divorce from Linda Hogan, describing a moment when he sat with a gun in his mouth after public backlash to a Rolling Stone comment.
- He details an extreme fentanyl regimen during his 2009 return with TNA, saying he used high-dose patches, pills, and lollipops for chronic pain, and recalls a pharmacist telling him he should be dead.
- Hogan says the split left him broke after giving Linda about 70% of his assets, which he says pushed him to sign with TNA, while colleagues Eric Bischoff and Jeremy Borash describe his failing health and heavy drinking during that period.
- The series also revisits his wider controversies and career fallout, and it includes a previously unannounced White House interview with President Donald Trump that director Bryan Storkel says Hogan helped arrange.
