Hulk Hogan encountered a negative crowd response during his appearance on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere on January 6. During an appearance on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, Debra Jaswaye, who served as WWE Creative Director from 1992 to 2005, shared her perspective on the situation.

To see Hogan and see him get that cr*ppy reception, I think the fans have spoken. I think he’s really fallen out of grace with a lot of people because I think he just became a bit of a sell-out. Not a bit of a sell-out, he’s a sell-out. I just don’t think he’s ever been one that people can use the word integrity when you talk about Hulk Hogan.

Hogan had attempted to deliver a babyface promo during the broadcast to promote WWE’s partnership with his Real American Beer brand. The appearance marked part of WWE’s inaugural show on Netflix.

These events followed past controversies involving Hogan, including leaked audio containing racial slurs and his public support for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. Hogan missed his scheduled appearance at Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25 due to family commitments.

Bill Goldberg amassed an undefeated streak of 173-0 during his run in WCW. One of his matches during this period took place at Halloween Havoc 1998 against Diamond Dallas Page.

During an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg recalled Page’s detailed match preparation approach.

Dallas came to me with 14 pages of a match and I think he wanted me to spear him seven times. Prior to that, I only speared anybody one time. Sting, being Sting, said, ‘You know what Bill, I think that was one of the best matches and best decisions of your life.’

Goldberg reflected on his past character decisions.

You can look at it myopically or you can look at it in its totality. Business-wise, I should have made more of those decisions. I shouldn’t have been so protective of my character. A lot of people say, ‘You’re a mark for yourself,’ right? I was a mark for myself because nobody else had my back. Nobody. I came in as a professional football player and I tried to take dudes jobs that have been in the sport and business since childhood because that’s the only thing they ever wanted to do, and it meant so much to them. I took that for granted a little bit. I always came in it with a different mentality. At the end of the day, if I didn’t have that different mentality, I wouldn’t have been what I was, and what I was, was something different. I think I was fairly successful at it. I still haven’t seen people do some of the stuff I was able to do.

Goldberg’s retirement match is scheduled for 2025.

Randy Orton Teased as Possible Member of New WWE Stable

During his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash proposes Randy Orton as an alternative third member to The Rock and John Cena’s alliance instead of Travis Scott.

John Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025, aligning with The Rock and attacking WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. The moment marked Cena’s first villainous turn in his 20-year WWE career.

Travis Scott’s involvement in the segment drew criticism from fans, particularly after reports emerged about Rhodes sustaining an injury during the interaction.

Kevin Nash addressed the alliance formation during his Kliq This podcast, suggesting a different name for the group’s third member.

Have Randy Orton join Cena and Rock… I don’t think Travis Scott is the right guy to be out there as the third. You would have to have somebody come back, like if you could get [Steve] Austin or Undertaker if they had a year left in them, then you could get that. You know what I mean? Then it’s a different era. It’s none of the new guys. But we’ve all timed out. I think Randy looks amazing right now.

Orton will likely challenge Cena during his retirement tour, which concludes in December.
