Hulk Hogan Never Wanted To Fix Things After Racist Tirade Says WWE Icon

One WWE Hall of Famer thinks Hulk Hogan never wanted to fix the issues caused by his racist outburst and that’s why he was booed out of Monday Night Raw.

The first edition of WWE Raw on Netflix saw several icons appear as The Rock crowned the undisputed Tribal Chief while The Undertaker shared a special moment with the new Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. But one appearance that probably won’t be on WWE’s highlight reels for years to come is that of Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan was accompanied by Jimmy Hart, who waved an American flag for much of Hogan’s promo. Despite the crowd in Los Angeles cheering Hogan’s iconic theme song when the star started to speak, the mood quickly turned. Hogan reverted to his old standards as he mentioned Andre The Giant and Randy Savage in an attempt to turn things around but such was the crowd’s disdain for Hogan that he managed to get those legends booed in the process as well.

Mark Henry Blasts Hulk Hogan’s Lack Of Effort To Fix Things

Hogan attempted to suck up the fans by calling them his greatest tag team partner over the years but this was loudly jeered as well. Hulk Hogan thinks his political leanings were behind the reaction but many others believe it stems from his racist outburst from several years ago that caused outrage.

Hogan’s apology to the WWE locker room for the matter was said to be a case of him apologising for being caught and warning others of the dangers of secret recordings rather than him being truly sorry for what he said.

Speaking to TMZ, Mark Henry gave his take on the situation and it’s clear he thinks Hogan only has himself to blame for the reaction:

With the social climate and the things [Hulk’s] said and done and his lack of effort to try and fix it, people are gonna come down on it.

He never wanted to go forward and fix it. That’s what happens when you think everything is gonna go away. It’s not gonna go away.

Several WWE figures believed Hulk Hogan would be booed on Raw and it remains to be seen if WWE will use Hogan on-screen in any way moving forward.
