Hulk Hogan
The Rock censored by WWE on RAW’s Netflix debut
After an uncensored live broadcast, Netflix removes profanity and edits specific segments of WWE RAW, including The Rock’s promo.

Netflix began a new era with WWE RAW’s debut, surpassing Squid Game Season 2 in viewership. However, after the uncensored live broadcast, the platform made alterations to the available content.
The platform removed commercial breaks and censored profanity that aired during the live broadcast. The “F*** You Solo” chants were replaced with crowd booing sounds.
The opening segment with The Rock also underwent edits. Profanity used during his promo, such as “bullshit,” was muted in the edited version. As an interesting detail, the boos directed at Hulk Hogan remained intact.
There is no information yet on whether Netflix will maintain this format in the coming weeks: an uncensored live broadcast followed by an edited version without commercial breaks but with censorship. Triple H had previously commented on this possibility.
The company doesn’t need to use that kind of vocabulary to produce a great show. WWE and Netflix will evaluate this matter as time goes on.
It’s worth noting that WWE programming maintains its PG-TV rating, making a drastic change unlikely, even with RAW leaving traditional TV.

The company had no prior knowledge and did not approve of the situation. However, everyone handled it well, and the show continued normally.
The moment occurred before the match between Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre. Scott briefly remained in the stands before joining Jey for his entrance. The show also featured other special appearances, including The Rock, John Cena, and Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan Criticized by WWE Hall of Famer After Awkward RAW Moment – “He’s Lost His Focus”
Booker T addresses Hulk Hogan’s negative crowd reaction on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere during Hall of Fame podcast appearance.

Hulk Hogan received a negative crowd response during WWE RAW’s Netflix debut at the Inuit Dome. Hogan appeared alongside Jimmy Hart, who carried an American flag, and faced loud disapproval throughout his promo segment.
Booker T addressed the situation on his Hall of Fame podcast:
Getting old sucks, man. You lose your focus when you’re getting older. I think that’s what Hogan has done over the years. He’s lost his focus. He’s lost his way, as far as being able to connect with young people. I always talk about that, as far as young people. If you don’t know how to change with the times, time will pass you by. I say that all the time…
Booker T elaborated on the generational disconnect:
I think it’s this era too. I think it’s the young people, they’re different. It’s a totally different world that we’re living in now. For instance, just say a lot of these fans who were booing, they’ve never watched Hulk Hogan do his thing. They’ve never seen the Andre the Giant match.
Bill Apter Comments on Hulk Hogan’s RAW Reception
Bill Apter discussed the crowd response to Hogan during an appearance on The Wrestling Time Machine with Mac Davis:
It really bothered me that he was getting booed because whatever Terry Bollea is, that’s a different story. If he’s a racist, he is. If he’s not, he’s not. But the character Hulk Hogan, it really tore me apart to see him disrespected. That character, along with Vince McMahon and the office there, touring with them is what put wrestling and sports entertainment into motion. People have to remember this is the character of Hulk Hogan and that character is not the same person.

WWE legend downplays Hulk Hogan’s negative RAW reception
Rob Van Dam dismisses significance of Hulk Hogan getting booed on RAW, citing celebrity’s history of weathering controversy.

Hulk Hogan faced an unexpected chorus of boos during RAW’s Netflix debut at the Intuit Dome while promoting his Real American Beer brand. Former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam offered perspective on the incident, suggesting the reaction wasn’t particularly noteworthy.
The WWE Hall of Famer attempted his signature crowd interaction and promo style, but the Los Angeles audience responded with sustained negative reactions. The moment sparked widespread online discussion.
History of controversy and comeback
Rob Van Dam shared his thoughts on Hogan’s mixed reception:
Hogan, he’s controversial and quite possibly the most recognizable celebrity on the planet, so I get where that’s hot, but they light him up, and they let him cool down, light him up, lights himself up, he cools down. He goes through cycles always and always seems to dig himself back out mostly and then bury himself again. … I don’t see how it’s that big of a deal. I’m confused by it a little bit.
Hogan’s relationship with WWE has fluctuated since 2015, when he was temporarily removed following the emergence of controversial comments from 2007. He returned to the company in 2018 and has made periodic appearances since.
