Hulk Hogan and his wife didn’t just face backlash for supporting Donald Trump — they were actually getting death threats.
That’s the update coming from Sky Daily Hogan, who revealed in the Netflix documentary Hulk Hogan: Real American that things escalated far beyond criticism after Hogan publicly supported Donald Trump. Before detailing how bad it got, Sky explained that Hogan knew stepping into politics as a public figure would divide his audience — and it wasn’t something he took lightly.
“Coming forward for Trump as an entertainer, you divide your audience, and he was nervous about that.”
She added that despite those concerns, Hogan still chose to move forward because he wanted to be genuine, even if it meant dealing with consequences that came with it. That backlash, according to Sky, went well beyond social media reactions — turning into something much more serious behind the scenes, as they received death threats.
“He wanted to be as authentic and true to himself, not just the Hulk Hogan character, and it wasn't without some backlash. We did get some death-threat letters, but you know, for the overall pro-America brand, it was great.”
In the end, Hogan made the decision to speak out knowing there would be fallout, but the reality behind it went further than most people realized. According to his wife, that support didn’t just divide fans — it brought real-world threats into their lives.
Now that this side of the story is out, do you think Hogan’s political stance changed how he’ll be remembered, or should it stay separate from his wrestling legacy? Let us know.
