‘No talk’ of using additional Hulk Hogan documentary footage

The makers of the Hulk Hogan documentary say they have enough unused footage to produce more episodes but as of now, there are no plans to continue the project. 

Bryan Storkel, director of Hulk Hogan: Real American, discussed the remaining Hogan material on the Ham Radio Show Friday.

“There’s definitely more that you could cover,” Storkel said. “I mean, there’s so many things that got cut out. But we decided on four parts and like that, it’s four hours worth, and we just put in the best stuff or the stuff we could fit. I think there’s so much more though.” 

Storkel said he does not expect anything new to see the light of day. 

“I mean, I think you can [do more episodes], there would be an argument made for that,” he said. “But there’s definitely no talk of that.”

Hulk Hogan: Real American is available to stream on Netflix. The four individual episodes range in length from 46 minutes to 1 hour, 19 minutes, totaling almost exactly four hours in length.

Hulk Hogan documentary on Fox Nation gets debut date

The first of several expected documentaries on the life of the late Hulk Hogan will debut Thursday night.

Announced earlier in the day, “The Life of Hulk Hogan” will begin on the Fox Nation streaming service and will feature interviews with Bill Goldberg and Jeff & Matt Hardy. Hosted by Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade, the documentary promises “a behind-the-scenes look at the larger-than-life character who transformed the world of wrestling.”

The documentary is available now with a 30-minute runtime.

From the media release:

“The documentary traces Hogan’s unparalleled rise from gritty gyms to glitzy and packed arenas around the world, showcasing the embodiment of an All-American Superhero.”

While the service is a paid one, free trials are available.

It was revealed last week that a Netflix docuseries has been in the works on Hogan since 2024 — a co-production with the streaming service, Hogan and WWE. On Thursday, it was reported that a long-discussed Hogan movie by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is no longer in development.

Hogan (Terry Bollea) passed away suddenly last Thursday in Florida at the age of 71 due to cardiac arrest.
