Hulk Hogans appearance on WWE RAWs Netflix premiere on January 6 was met with boos from the Los Angeles crowd, leaving the wrestling icon in an awkward spot. But it didnt end therePat McAfee took the opportunity to mock Hogan on The Pat McAfee Show in a parody segment.
In the mock press conference, McAfees version of Hogan claimed the crowd wasnt booing him but instead chanting Hulk Hooooooooogan. Taking things further, the parody Hogan issued challenges to several WWE stars, focusing on Black talents like Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Trick Williams, and legends such as The Godfather, Farooq, and Ahmed Johnson (jokingly renamed Ahmed Plumber).
The segment drew laughs on the show, but it also raised eyebrows given Hogans history. The wrestling legend faced immense backlash in 2015 after a leaked tape revealed him using the N-word during a private conversation, a controversy that led to his temporary removal from WWE. While Hogan has since apologized and returned to WWE, the resurfacing of his past, combined with the focus on Black stars in McAfees parody, has reignited debates about his legacy.
The parody Hogan ended by saying he wanted to close his career with a match against The Rock, further fueling chatter online about Hogans complicated relationship with the wrestling world and its diverse fanbase.
Hulk Hogans past controversies are never far from the spotlight, and Pat McAfees parody has added a fresh layer of intrigue to the conversation. Whether you see it as harmless comedy or a pointed reminder of Hogans complicated legacy, one things for sure: this story isnt going away anytime soon. Only time will tell how fansand Hogan himselfrespond to the renewed focus on his past.
