Hulk Hogan’s status amongst wrestling fans has significantly declined in recent times, as evidenced by the negative response he received during RAW’s Netflix debut, where he was heavily booed. This disdain extends beyond the U.S., as fans within the UK are also showing hostility towards Hogan.
During an event featuring Joe Hendry and Mark Henry in Notttingham, England on Sunday night, Hogan’s theme song was played, and the gang responded with loud boos, prompting the song to be quickly cut. Mark Henry, who was DJing on the time, took the microphone and said “Within the immortal words of The Iron Sheik, F**k Hulk Hogan!”
This international backlash is probably going rooted in Hogan’s past, particularly his 2015 firing from WWE following the revelation of racist remarks, including controversial comments about his daughter dating a black man.
Although Hogan returned to WWE in 2018, many felt his apology and efforts to make amends were insufficient. When addressing the WWE roster, Hogan focused more on advising caution about what one says, quite than reflecting on the wrongness of racism itself.
Despite remaining energetic within the political sphere as a supporter of Donald Trump, Hogan’s involvement in wrestling has diminished, together with his last appearance being on RAW’s Netflix debut.
