On the latest “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash shared his thoughts on Hulk Hogan’s recent reception at WWE Raw in Los Angeles, where the legendary wrestler was met with a chorus of boos.
Hogan’s controversial past, including racially charged comments made public in 2012, has significantly tarnished his image. Many fans, particularly younger generations who were not as familiar with his earlier career, were aware of these remarks and expressed their disapproval.
Nash commented, “Somebody’s gotta be a heel.” He continued, “If he wasn’t financially tied to WWE with Real American Beer, the last thing you’d want to do is cut a promo on the crowd with your face on a beer can.”
Sean Oliver suggested that Triple H might have understood if Hogan had improvised a heel promo. Nash disagreed and then said that he heard that Hogan looked at Jimmy Hart backstage and said, “Man, you’ve got heat.”
Regarding Hogan’s future appearances, Nash stated, “He’s in business with WWE, Real American Beer…I heard they’re planning to feature the beer on a turnbuckle, similar to Prime.”
Nash also addressed Hogan’s health issues, saying, “Hulk is beat up. He’s a tough motherf**cker. He sucked it up to come out and cut the promo, even though his back was killing him. I felt bad for him, but at least he got a reaction.”
“I saw the hardware they removed from his back. It was insane, the amount of screws and bolts they took out.”
