A Look At The Hulk Hogan Backlash and The Hypocrisy

On January 6, 2025, Netflix would broadcast the WWE flagship show Monday Night RAW for the first time. The show was treated a special episode with big matches and big appearances including from The Rock to The Undertaker to Triple H. However, one of the big appearances was that of Hulk Hogan. In perhaps the most memorable moment of the show, Hogan was booed out of the building and many celebrated the occasion. It's no surprise to know Hogan has had his critics but obviously, things have grown since a 2006 sex tape was leaked in 2015 revealing Hogan going on a racist rant. To many, it was considered unforgivable while others also believed Hogan made little to no attempt to make up for it. Many also think there is more to it from Hogan's support of controversial US President Donald Trump to all the accusations of him playing backstage politics. For the record, I don't condone Hogan's words and I do believe WWE was in the right to fire him in 2015 and have him spend the next few years in the wilderness. That said, as a Hogan fan, I do believe the backlash is out of control and even hypocritical. Is Hogan being targeted because he deserves it or is there more to it? Is it because some want to score points with the Internet Wrestling Community or come off virtuous or because Hogan is low hanging fruit while others who can be as bad are considered untouchable? In this article we'll look at the controversies and how Hogan's critics are hypocrites savaging him while turning blind eyes to other wrestling legends misdeeds which, yes, includes racism.

In my last article, I brought up TNA's 2024 and specifically wrestlers who had a disappointing year. Obviously, not everyone can have an amazing year. However, in that article, I brought up it was part of a two part article. In this article, we'll look back at the TNA wrestlers who overachieved and did better than many thought they would. Now keep in mind, this is for wrestlers who did better than many thought. As a result, don't expect to see Nic Nemeth or Jordynne Grace or ABC on this list since they did as well as you expect.
