It shouldn’t be that surprising that the sitting president of the United States would appear in multiple episodes of Netflix’s new four-part Hulk Hogan docuseries, Hulk Hogan: Real American (streaming now).

After all, Donald Trump learned all of his best tricks from the world of professional wrestling.

Long before Hogan https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/the-hulk-hogan-maga-speech-that-made-him-relevant-to-the-end/" rel="">endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention in 2024, the pair were friends.

In his interview, which begins midway through the second episode and was filmed in the Oval Office, Trump calls Hogan a “showman” with whom he had always had a “good relationship.” That relationship was apparently strong enough for Hogan to personally request Trump appear in what ended up being a posthumous documentary following his https://www.thedailybeast.com/wrestling-icon-hulk-hogan-dies-at-71/" rel="">death at 71 last summer.
