Mark Henry addresses Hulk Hogan getting booed out of the building at WWE RAW’s Netflix debut

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.

While speaking to TMZ.com, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry commented on Hogan’s past racist remarks being a factor in the negative crowd reaction…

“I mean that’s that’s arguable [Hogan being called the greatest of all time]. Anytime that you can consider the Mount Rushmore or the top 10 of wrestling all time, Hogan is always going to be in that top 10. But right now with with the social climate, the things that he said and done, and his lack of effort to try to fix it, people are going to come down on him.

I never had an issue with him before I heard all of the stuff and even then, I believe in giving second chances. Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a ‘fix it’ person. I’m not going dwell on the negative. I’m not going to talk about the past, we going forward. He never wanted to go forward and fix it. So you know that’s what happens when you think that everything is going to go away. It’s not going to go away. I offered to say ‘hey let’s do a tour of the black colleges, law schools, and explain what happened’ but he didn’t want to do that.”
