Vince McMahon Says Hulk Hogan’s Appearance At Raw On Netflix Premiere Wasn’t Set Up Properly, ‘I Got Angry. That’s Not The Way I Would Have Done It’
The final WWE appearance for Hulk Hogan came at the Raw on Netflix debut on January 6th in Los Angeles.
Hogan was booed when he entered the arena and spoke to the crowd. He wouldn’t appear on WWE TV again, passing away on Thursday, July 24th.
Speaking on “The Real Hulk Hogan” documentary, Vince McMahon commented on Hogan’s appearance.
“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.”
A month after WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, Hogan stated that he expected to be booed at the event.
Elsewhere during the documentary, McMahon commented on Hogan using racist language. You can find his comments here.
