The new Netflix docuseries "Hulk Hogan: Real American," released on April 22, 2026, features former President Donald Trump in multiple episodes. The series chronicles the life of the professional wrestling icon, Terry Bollea, known as Hulk Hogan.
Trump's appearances are tied to his long-standing association with Hogan and the wrestling world. The series revisits the 1980s and 1990s, when Trump hosted major wrestling events at his Atlantic City casinos and later at the Trump Plaza. Their friendship was publicly highlighted during Hogan's defamation trial against Gawker in 2016, where Trump testified as a character witness.
The docuseries uses archival footage and interviews to explore Hogan's career, personal struggles, and cultural impact. Trump's role is presented as a significant part of Hogan's narrative, reflecting the intersection of celebrity, politics, and entertainment during that era.
