Hulk Hogan's Final Chapter: A Netflix Documentary After His Passing
WRESTLING LEGEND HULK HOGAN'S SHOCKING DEMISE ROCKS THE WORLD
In a devastating turn of events, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has left behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come. The 71-year-old wrestling legend passed away on Thursday after suffering a fatal cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. As the news of his sudden death sent shockwaves across the globe, tributes poured in from all corners of the sporting world and even President Donald Trump.
But what's more astonishing is that Hogan was reportedly working on an unannounced documentary with Netflix, which was set to chronicle his tumultuous life both in and out of the ring. Insiders claim that the wrestling legend had given over 20 hours of interviews for the project, which has been in the works since 2024.
The documentary, directed by Bryan Storkel and produced by Connor Schell's studio, Words + Pictures, in collaboration with the WWE, promises to offer a never-before-seen glimpse into Hogan's life. "People will see a side of him they haven't seen before," revealed an insider.
Filming is still ongoing, despite Hogan's passing, and Netflix has confirmed that the documentary will be released at some point in the future. The project has already shot over 30 hours of scenes, with additional filming still underway. Cameras were rolling during WWE's Friday Night Smackdown on July 25, which paid a poignant tribute to the wrestling icon.
The first live event after Hogan's death was no exception, as the WWE honored him in a heartfelt memorial before kicking off SmackDown on Friday night. Wrestling great Triple H, who now works as the company's chief content officer, paid homage to his former colleague with tears in his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday we lost one of the biggest and most globally recognized icons in the world," he said, his voice trembling. "A man I grew up watching, was fortunate enough to share the ring with, and like so many of us were honored to call a friend."
The 10-bell salute played out as a number of WWE figures looked visibly emotional, including Hogan's former manager Jimmy Hart, who was seen wiping away tears.
But behind the scenes, Hogan had been battling his own demons. Throughout his final months, he endured a bitter family feud with ex-wife Linda and daughter Brooke. In an astonishing video on social media shared back in March, Linda accused her former husband of being a "complete liar" and "sex addict."
She also claimed their family is "in the worst mess" after Brooke cut both parents out of her life, before hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide. Brooke alleged that she was "verbally and mentally abused" during her childhood.
After Brooke's stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a "narcissist." The feud was all too familiar to those who followed Hogan's life outside of the ring.
In recent months, Hogan had been trying to work his way back to 100% after neck and back operations. His representative said in a statement last month: "He's had problems with his back for years but there's no emergency."
But sources close to Hogan revealed that he was struggling to come to terms with the physical toll of his years in the wrestling ring. "Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years," said a source.
As the world mourns the loss of a true legend, Hogan's legacy will continue to inspire generations of wrestlers and fans alike. His wife Sky Daily, two children Brooke and Nick, and grandchildren will always remember him as a husband, father, and grandfather who left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling.
In his own words, Hogan once said: "What'cha gonna do, brother?" Now, it's time for us to ask: what are we going to do without Hulkamania running wild?
