During the highly anticipated premiere of “WWE Raw” on Netflix, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and rapper Wale made their feelings about Hulk Hogan very clear.
As Hogan made his entrance, the pair joined the audience in a chorus of boos that echoed through the venue.
O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s Frustrations
In a candid chat on “Sway’s Universe,” Jackson Jr. opened up about his deep-seated frustrations with Hogan, which stem from a troubling incident in 2015.
Back then, Hogan found himself in hot water after being caught on camera making a series of racist comments, revealing a troubling glimpse into his mindset.
Although Hogan later issued an apology, Jackson Jr. expressed that the impact of those words continues to resonate with him.
He emphasized the harshness of Hogan’s statements and highlighted the significance of the fans’ reactions during the premiere, viewing it as a pivotal episode in the wrestling world.
Audience Reaction as a Turning Point
This moment, where the audience collectively expressed their disdain, not only showcased their feelings towards Hogan but also marked a profound shift in the narrative around such behavior in the wrestling community.
Jackson Jr. argued that the response of the crowd was a crucial reflection of the evolving attitudes in sports entertainment.
