A final interview with Hulk Hogan is about to become one of the most talked-about parts of Netflix’s upcoming documentary series about the wrestling icon.

In the trailer for Hulk Hogan: Real American, which premieres April 22, Hogan appears on camera for what Netflix says was his last interview before his death in July 2025. At one point, the WWE legend makes a striking comment that immediately stands out.

“You want me to tell the truth? Okay,” Hogan says in the trailer. “I know where all the bodies are buried.”

The four-part series appears set to revisit both Hogan’s rise to fame and the controversies that followed him throughout his life. In another moment from the trailer, Hogan reflects on how he believes he will be remembered.

“In wrestling, you should be remembered for all the wars and everything you’ve done,” he says. “Some people hate me, but after I’m gone, I think people don’t know the truth. Who was this guy, really?”

Netflix has framed the project as a closer look at both Terry Bollea, the man, and Hulk Hogan, the larger-than-life persona. The documentary includes footage from different periods of Hogan’s career, including home videos with his children and interviews with family members.

Among those appearing is Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda, who says in the trailer that even after the two stopped speaking, “I realized I still love him.”

The series also addresses the darker chapters of Hogan’s life. The trailer includes clips referencing public criticism of the wrestler and his past behavior, while Hogan himself appears to acknowledge that period directly.

“I was out partying. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know what to tell you,” he says. “There are millions of kids that believed in me and what I stand for.”

Elsewhere, Hogan draws a line between the man he was in private and the character who made him famous around the world.

“Terry Bollea was just a human being,” he says. “But when I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan.”

The release of the documentary comes as renewed attention continues to surround Hogan’s life and death. Hogan died July 24, 2025, at age 71 after suffering a heart attack at his Clearwater, Florida home.
