Netflix documentary director on Hulk Hogan's Trump support and the backlash that followed him to the end

Netflix is producing an upcoming documentary on wrestler Hulk Hogan directed by Brian Storkel. Hogan completed five days of interviews with Netflix totaling about 25 hours but died in July at age 71 before the film’s release. The film explores Hogan’s controversies and his public support for Donald Trump—highlighting his last WWE appearance on Jan. 6, 2025 and a noted assassination attempt in July 2024 that spurred him to speak out. While the documentary could drive viewer engagement and publicity for Netflix, the article offers no direct commentary on financials or distribution plans; market impact is likely limited and indirect (consumer engagement/brand exposure) rather than a material near-term driver for NFLX.OQ.
