Hulk Hogan Faces Mixed Reactions: During the surprise appearance at the Netflix premiere of ‘Monday Night Raw,’ Hulk Hogan experienced a decidedly lukewarm reception from the audience in L.A. This response, however, did not come as a shock to Mark Henry, who anticipated the crowd’s reaction given the context surrounding Hogan’s past controversies and remarks.
Henry elaborated on the situation, stating, “With the current social climate and the issues that Hulk has previously mentioned and his apparent lack of effort to address these matters, it’s expected that people would voice their discontent.” He specifically referenced a resurfaced clip from 2006, where Hogan was heard using a racial slur, a moment that has haunted him in public perception.
After the clip gained traction in 2015, Hogan issued an apology to People Magazine, stating, “It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.” Despite this, many feel that the sincerity of his regret is questionable, considering the timing and the ongoing discussions surrounding racial sensitivity.
Hogan expressed, “This isn’t who I am. I believe strongly that every individual on this planet is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs, or any other factor.” His declaration aims to reinforce a commitment to inclusivity, but critics argue that his past actions contradict this statement.
However, Henry believes that Hogan’s efforts to rectify his past mistakes have not been sufficient. He argues that true accountability requires more than just words; it demands consistent action and a willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue about the issues at hand.
Henry emphasized, “He never wanted to move forward and fix it. This is what happens when you think everything is going to disappear. It’s not going away.” His comments reflect a broader sentiment that accountability and growth are essential for those in the public eye, particularly in relation to historical missteps.
For what it’s worth, the legendary wrestler has enjoyed numerous appearances over the years where he received enthusiastic ovations from fans. However, this was not the case during the event in Los Angeles on Monday night, highlighting the ongoing challenges Hogan faces in rebuilding his public image.

Turning to the main event of the streaming giant, Henry expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “What a spectacle.” His excitement for the occasion was palpable, highlighting how significant the event was for both fans and the entertainment industry.
“The support from Hollywood showing up, and all the showcases of individuals who are on Netflix, or aspire to be on Netflix, I thought was quite remarkable,” Mark added, emphasizing the event’s impact on the entertainment landscape.
Notable celebrities in attendance included The Rock, John Cena, Vanessa Hudgens, and Travis Scott, among many others, showcasing the star-studded nature of the event and its significance in popular culture.
