Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary filming during death

Hulk Hogan was in the middle of working on a Netflix documentary at the time of his passing, as reported by CNN. The wrestling icon passed away earlier this week at the age of 71. The documentary, a previously unannounced project in collaboration with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), aimed to showcase Hogan’s life and career, both in and out of the ring. Despite his sudden death, the documentary is still set to be released, with filming ongoing.

Insiders revealed that the project has been in progress since 2024, with over 20 hours of intimate interviews completed and an additional 30 hours of footage shot. Hogan was actively involved in the making of this documentary, giving viewers a new perspective on his life. While the release date is yet to be announced, Hogan’s passing will require filmmakers to adjust certain parts of the documentary.

Police confirmed that Hogan passed away due to cardiac arrest, with no signs of any suspicious activity. Hogan, born Terry Bollea, was a pivotal figure in the wrestling world, elevating WWE to new heights of success. His influence in the 1980s and 1990s paved the way for other wrestlers to transition into Hollywood, like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena. The Netflix documentary, directed by Bryan Storkel and produced by Connor Schell’s studio, Words + Pictures, in partnership with WWE, will shed light on Hogan’s legacy.

Despite the loss of this wrestling legend, fans continue to show their support by mourning Hogan and paying tribute to his iconic career. His establishments in Clearwater Beach remain closed as fans remember and honor him.
