In a recent interview with TMZ, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry shared his thoughts on the backlash Hulk Hogan received during his appearance on WWE Raw this past Monday. Henry explained that he wasn’t surprised by the boos Hogan received from the audience, as the legendary wrestler has never fully attempted to make amends for the racist remarks he made years ago. Hogan, who appeared on Raw to promote his beer brand, was met with intense criticism and was booed relentlessly by fans during the segment.
The controversy surrounding Hogan’s comments stems from a sex tape that was leaked in 2015, in which he made racist remarks. The public backlash was immediate and widespread, with many questioning his character and the integrity of his legacy. Hogan later addressed the situation, claiming that the comments did not reflect who he truly was, and he expressed regret for his actions. Despite his public apology, many feel that Hogan has yet to take the necessary steps to fully make amends for his past behavior, which may have contributed to the negative reception he received on Raw.
Henry’s comments reflect a broader sentiment among some fans and wrestlers who believe that words alone are not enough to heal such deep wounds. The situation continues to be a point of contention, and it remains to be seen how Hogan’s legacy will be shaped in the years to come, given the lingering effects of his controversial past.
Mark Henry said:
“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.“
