Mark Henry is setting the record straight after a Hulk Hogan moment went completely off the rails in Nottingham.
During the Sweet Chin Disco party on March 23 in England, the crowd turned real fast when Hogans classic Real American theme hit the speakers. Instead of cheers, fans showered the track with deafening boos until the DJ pulled the plug. And that DJ? WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry himself. Now, Henry is responding to the viral backlashand hes not defending Hogan one bit.
Hogans been on thin ice with fans for years. It all started with his 2015 racist rant that got leaked to the publicwhere he infamously said he didnt want his daughter dating a Black man. WWE scrubbed him from the Hall of Fame and distanced themselves but they welcomed him back three years later. Still, many wrestlers and fans never bought his apology.
Then came the photos in 2024 with known neo-Nazis and a bizarre gesture mocking Kamala Harris that reignited criticism just ahead of the U.S. election. So yeah, the boos in the UK? Nobody shouldve been surprised.
Despite all this, Hogans face still pops up on WWE TVliterally. His Real American Beer branding has been splashed across the RAW ring mat since January, thanks to WWE buying a stake in the company.
But as far as Mark Henrys concerned, he was just spinning tracks and watching reality hit like a leg drop. Im just the DJ.
Whether youre Team Hogan or think hes way past his expiration date, one things clearMark Henrys not losing sleep over any of it. He just played the track and let the crowd speak for itself. He did that to himself, says Henryand judging by that reaction in Nottingham, the fans clearly agree.
