Hulk Hogan<\/a>: Real American, and he “really wanted” Linda to be part of the programme too.<\/p>\nNick said: “I think my mom at first was a little bit hesitant, because she just didn’t want to get mixed up and stuff. My dad really wanted her to be a part of this because she was such a tremendously huge part of his life.”<\/p>\n
\nThe 35-year-old star eventually persuaded his mom to take part after telling Linda, 66, how much her former spouse had wanted her to be involved.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “She said, ‘I want to do this for your dad, I want to be there to give the full story and help him tell our story together.’ “<\/p>\n
\nAnd Linda was able to provide some deeply personal and intimate moments for the documentary.<\/p>\n
\nDirector Bryan Storkel said: “She ended up having some 40 hours of home video where you could just see [Hogan] with Nick and in the home, in diapers, rolling around with him. You finally get to see him being a dad and living a human life as opposed to just a character on the screen.”<\/p>\n
\nThe series, which drops on Netflix next week, features interviews from various key figures in the wrestler’s life, including his former manager Jimmy Hart and fellow WWE stars such as Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart.<\/p>\n
\nDespite Nick’s comments about his parents, Linda – who also has daughter Brooke, 37, with Hulk – previously claimed she and her ex-husband were not on speaking terms when he died.<\/p>\n
\nShe commented on a previous Instagram post that featured a photo of herself and Hulk and was captioned, “Good old days”: “I had no idea he would pass away this soon . We all really thought he would make a come back.<\/p>\n
\n“Big surprise . We are all devastated . It\u2019s hitting me so hard .<\/p>\n
\n “I loved Hulkster more than he loved me . It hurt when he cheated . But he was sooo famous . I sort of u detstood but it was crushing . It hurt . I bever got over him or started a real relationship w anyone .. I missed HIM! I\u2019ve been weeping all day . The finality . It\u2019s just shocking . <\/p>\n
\n“We spent every minute together for so many years . I\u2019ve known him since he was 28 yrs old ! I was 22. I still love him . Even tho I never spoke or saw him , Nick did .. and Nick would tell me things and vice versa . Just news about life . I still felt .. although broken .. we still were a family . It\u2019s so hard to know he\u2019s just gone .(sic)”<\/p>\n
