Late WWE Hall of Famer Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea revealed a staggering amount of fentanyl he was using to manage pain from injuries sustained during his wrestling career in the new Netflix docuseries Hulk Hogan: Real American.

Bollea, who was 71 at the time of his death last July, gave his eventual final interview in January for the docuseries, which premiered on the streaming platform Wednesday (April 22). The legendary wrestler claimed he was told by doctors that he was taking more fentanyl than they'd ever seen a human consume in 2009, as he had just completed his divorce from his ex-wife, Linda,' where he said he "gave her everything to get rid of her" and was left "broke."

Bollea then joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, which was, at the time, the second-largest promotion in North America behind WWE, and was originally planned to "be an active member of the roster" until "it became very apparent very quickly he was in no shape to do that," according to former TNA producer Jeremy Borash.

“I was taking 80-milligram fentanyls, two in the morning, stuffing them under my gums here," Bollea said, mimicking how he'd place the fentanyl in his mouth.

"I had two 300mg patches of fentanyl on my legs and they gave me six 1500mg fentanyl lollipops to eat," he continued. "I went to the pharmacy, he goes, 'You should be dead. We have never seen a human being take this much fentanyl.' "

Bollea said he "couldn't sleep in my bed" anymore due to the excruciating pain.

"I had to sleep in a chair, and if I just twitched my finger like that, my whole back would spasm and torque," he added.

Bollea's cause of death was officially ruled to be a heart attack, according to Pinellas County Forensic Science Center documents obtained by Page Six on July 31. The legendary wrestler reportedly died from acute myocardial infarction, which occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked, resulting in tissue damage, the documents confirmed.

Bollea reportedly had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which is categorized in patients with an irregular and often rapid heart rate, as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer that affects white blood cells, though the diagnosis that wasn't previously revealed to the public.

Hulk Hogan is one of the most well-known figures in the history of professional wrestling, leading WWE to become a global enterprise in the 1980s as the face of the company during its popularity boom. The late wrestler was a five-time WWE (then-WWF) Champion, which included a 1,474-day reign as the longest of the WrestleMania era and a six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, where he was the leader of the New World Order as 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan during his tenure with the now-defunct promotion.

Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice as both an individual wrestler and as a member of the nWo faction.
