The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan were both at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere on January 6th. Undertaker was cheered when he entered to his "American Badass" theme. Hulk Hogan was booed as he promoted "Real American Beer."
"When I saw him, he was no selling it and pushing his beer. I wasn't backstage when he came (to the back)," Undertaker said on his Six Feet Under podcast.
Asked if he felt bad for Hogan, Undertaker replied, "I got feelings for people. Sometimes, in life, things come back. He was bigger than life, Americana kinda of deal, then obviously, he gets caught on tape saying some derogatory, racist things. In this day and age, where all of that is such a hot-button deal, I don't know what you expect. People are going to react and they are not going to react in a positive way."
When it was noted that fans have learned Hogan wasn't the best person in the locker room, Undertaker said, "That's probably a good point. Fans have access now to everything. They get to hear people's interviews and they feel like they are part of that locker room. This is somebody that was, regardless of where he's at now, they still carry a grudge about it. He's comeback before, since all of the stuff with his daughter and the racial stuff. He's come back and gotten positive reactions."
Hogan previously said he expected to be booed because he was a heel in Los Angeles during the NWO days.
