Fans will soon get to see plenty of the highs and lows of the career of Hulk Hogan in a new series coming to VICE TV.

Hogan's incredible and controversial career will be featured in the new VICE TV series Nine Lives Of... As the title suggests, the show goes into the controversies of celebrities and how they have been given multiple second chances. The episode about the two-time WWE Hall of Famer will premiere on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at 10 PM.

Hogan won't be the only massive name examined as part of Nine Lives Of... WWE celebrity Hall of Famer Arnold Schwarzenegger and the late Paul 'Pee Wee Herman' Ruebens will also be featured. Both made numerous appearances for WWE. Dave Chapelle, Howard Stern, Tiger Woods, and the animated series South Park are among those that will be covered.

While Hulk Hogan is unquestionably one of the most significant names in professional wrestling, his legacy has been mired in controversy. The Hulkster has often faced accusations of politicking in wrestling to ensure he had the best spot, often at the expense of other wrestlers.

In 2015, a rant made by Hogan during a 2007 leaked sex tape went viral in which Hogan expressed his disapproval of his daughter dating a black man. In the leaked clip, Hogan uses the n-word and admits to being "a racist, to a point." Hogan was quickly fired from WWE and removed from the Hall of Fame, with a statement from the company stating they are "committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds." Hogan's lawyer would claim that he had chosen to resign from the company.

Hogan would apologize multiple times over the years and would see some support from black athletes including The Rock, Booker T, Mark Henry, and Big E. In July 2018, Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame and has made appearances for WWE ever since.
