Hulk Hogan’s Netflix documentary is on the way, but it’s his ex-wife Linda Hogan who just grabbed attention with a promo move that raised more than a few eyebrows.
Netflix recently released the trailer for Hulk Hogan: Real American, a documentary built around Hogan’s final recorded interview before his passing in July 2025. The project is set to premiere on April 22 and is expected to dive into his legacy, career highs, and the controversy that followed him through the years.
Linda Hogan decided to promote the documentary in her own way — and it definitely wasn’t subtle. Instead of posting a trailer clip or behind-the-scenes footage, Linda jumped on Instagram and shared a mirror selfie wearing a black bikini, posing inside her home while plugging the upcoming Netflix release. Along with the bikini photo, she made sure to remind followers about the release date and encourage them to tune in.
“Gettin sun , havin fun .. check out our pix on NETFLIX !! PREMIERE APRIL 22!!! 😎”
Instead of rolling out old match clips or classic Hogan throwbacks, the spotlight quickly shifted to Linda’s bikini post — and that’s what people started talking about. The documentary may be about Hulk Hogan’s legacy, but this post had folks paying attention for a completely different reason.
The Netflix project itself is still set to revisit some of Hogan’s biggest moments, including his legendary clash with Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III and his face-off with The Rock at WrestleMania X8, along with commentary from several big names tied to his career.
But let’s be real — Linda’s bikini plug might end up being one of the most talked-about promos tied to this documentary, whether that was the intention or not.
Was Linda Hogan’s thirst trap a smart way to get people talking about the documentary, or did it feel like a strange way to promote something meant to focus on Hulk Hogan’s legacy? Drop your thoughts and let us know what you think.
