The Daily Beast • • general
Key Points:
- The Netflix docuseries "Hulk Hogan: Real American" features multiple appearances by Donald Trump, highlighting their longstanding friendship and Hogan's endorsement of Trump in the 2024 election.
- Hogan explains his political support for Trump grew stronger after the 2024 assassination attempt on the president, despite initially being hesitant to publicly back him.
- Trump appears narcissistic in the series, refusing to replicate Hogan’s signature finger wag and downplaying his own controversies compared to Hogan’s.
- The documentary also covers Hogan’s fall from grace due to a leaked racist video in 2012, which led to his WWE Hall of Fame removal and later reinstatement amid mixed reactions from wrestlers and fans.
- Hogan’s final years are portrayed as difficult, culminating in a booed farewell WWE appearance in 2025 and a poignant RNC ovation that symbolized his fading fame.
