At the Netflix premiere of WWE RAW on January 6th 2025, Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan cut a promo with longtime manager Jimmy Hart to hype up the event and promote his Real American Beer product. Despite praising the fans, Hogan was largely booed during the segment.

TMZ’s documentary about the life of Hogan premiered on Tuesday night (FOX network) and former WWE owner Vince McMahon was among the individuals that were interviewed. Vince stated the following about Hogan’s appearance on the Netflix premiere of RAW…

“It wasn’t set up properly. I’m sure he was probably despondent after that.”

“I was angry because we’ve known each other for a lifetime, professionally and personally. Setting up, so to speak, this larger than life super hero, you don’t just let him walk out there. He deserved something very, very special. More than anyone, they owe him. It’s just like, ‘Okay, here comes Hulk Hogan.’ I got angry because that’s not the way I would have done it and he deserved much more.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
