Booker Ts history with Hulk Hogan goes back decades, but when it comes to their most infamous moment, the WWE Hall of Famer is keeping it real.
During an interview with Alfred Konuwa, Booker T was asked if hes still coming for Hogana nod to his unforgettable WCW Spring Stampede 1997 promo where he accidentally dropped the N-bomb while calling out The Hulkster. Booker laughed before making it clear that Hogan has already done enough damage to himself.
Naw man, because Hulk Hogan is coming for himself, Booker said, implying that Hogans own actions have done more harm to his reputation than anything anyone else could do.
Hogans legacy has been met with growing controversy, from his past racist comments to his unwavering support of Donald Trump. His January 6 appearance on WWE RAWs Netflix debut was met with a wave of boos so loud that his promo was barely audible. Even when Pat McAfee gave him a chance to clear up his past, Hogan danced around the topic rather than addressing it head-on.
While WWE still brings Hogan back for occasional appearances, fan reactions tell the real story. The days of red and yellow nostalgia are long gone, and outside of places like Saudi Arabiawhere hes been warmly receivedhis presence generates more backlash than excitement.
