WWE: 15 Greatest Wrestling Documentaries Of All Time

12. Finding Hulk Hogan (2010)

This A&E produced documentary traces Hulk Hogan€™s divorce from ex-wife Linda and subsequent financial ruin. In the opening scene, Hogan (Terry Bollea) says his $100m fortune has dwindled to less than $1m because of alimony payments and legal problems. Now, his debts have precipitated a return to professional wrestling, despite serious on-going health issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUAF6n7Wg5M There are plenty of eye-opening revelations in Finding Hulk Hogan. For example, the film quite clearly suggests that Bollea€™s motivation for joining TNA Impact Wrestling was financial €“ something which no doubt caused tensions with TNA management. However, the fact A&E presents Hogan as a tragic figure despite still earning millions of dollars in merchandising per year feels slightly disingenuous. If you€™re after a more gritty portrait of a professional wrestler past their prime, look no further than this next movie€
