Hulk Hogan docuseries edges out WWE Raw in Netflix global top ten

The four-part Hulk Hogan: Real American docuseries on Netflix edged out last Monday’s WWE Raw in total global viewers, according to Netflix’s weekly Tudum rankings.

The Hogan series, co-produced by WWE, brought in 3.1 million global viewers in its second week on the list, up from the prior week’s three million in its debut week. Like the prior week, it was fifth overall globally and had 12.9 million global hours viewed.

The Monday, April 27 edition of Raw did 2.8 million global viewers (sixth overall) and 5.2 million global hours viewed. The viewers are a dip of 500,000 from the post-WrestleMania Raw while the global views were down 1.4 million from the prior week — partially due to a lower runtime and the drop in viewers.

The global views and global hours viewed were both Raw’s lowest since March 9.

The Hogan doc was a top ten show in 14 countries while Raw was in the top ten in 12 countries.

The leader of the week was the first season of Man on Fire (11 million global views) followed closely by the first season of Should I Marry a Murderer? (10.6 million global views).

The difference between fourth place and the Hogan series in fifth place was 3.6 million.
