The Plot…
Hulk Hogan: Real American documents Terry Bollea’s (Hulk’s real name) life…
- from before his entry into professional wrestling
- his early days trying to find his way
- his rise to become the biggest star in professional wrestling
- to a Hollywood leading man
- to a wrestling veteran no longer a fan favorite
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Hulk Hogan became a wrestling star so big, it can truly be said that he took sports entertainment to levels it had never achieved.
I attribute a lot of Hulk Hogan’s popularity to his role as Thunderlips in Rocky III. This brought Hogan to the attention of millions of people who never watched wrestling. It’s also interesting to note that Hogan and Mr. T (another co-star in Rocky III) headlined Wrestlemania 1.
Hulk Hogan’s daughter refused to participate in this documentary. She and her father were estranged.
Hulk Hogan: Real American (2026) rates 4 of 5 stars.
