0:00It's April 22, I'm Corey, with the story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Hulk Hogan drops some real talk in his final interview, filmed just three months before he passed away on July 24, 2025. In Netflix's new docuseries on his life, the wrestling legend admitted he blew his response to the 2015 scandal where he got caught using, racist slurs in a chat with his daughter Brooke. He owned up to letting anger get the best of him instead of staying silent. Looking back, Hogan explained how his words kept causing fallout for years, and he wished he'd handled the heat better right away. The doc shows clips from his early apologies, where he pointed to his South Tampa upbringing as part of why those words slipped out, calling in. Something passed down over generations. Fans and critics call that take-week in dodging blame, which stung his legacy hard. WWE yanked him from their hall of fame and tried scrubbing his name at first, but three years later, they brought him back for events like hosting, WrestleMania 37 in 2021.

1:05Fast forward, his public nod to Donald Trump and a big booing at his last WWE Netflix debut in January 2025, showed the divide stuck around. His friend Jimmy Hart said it really got to him. In the end, Hogan seemed chill with being loved by some and hated by others, owning his spot as the top wrestler ever. Catch the full story in Hulk Hogan, Real American, streaming now on Netflix.
