Report: WWE Talents Believe Hulk Hogan 'Isn't Genuine'

The general feeling among talent backstage in WWE is that Hulk Hogan simply isn't genuine, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select.

Sapp responded to the question of how current WWE wrestlers feel towards Hogan, explaining:

"Most that I've spoken to just feel he isn't genuine. There's not a ton I can really add to that."

This comes off the back of Hogan's disastrous appearance on the debut episode of Raw on Netflix, which saw the Hall of Famer loudly booed as he attempted to promote his Real American Beer.

Hogan appeared alongside Jimmy Hart on a star-studded episode, but whereas other legendary WWE figures such as The Rock, John Cena and The Undertaker were received positively, the Hulkster was hit with near-universal derision.

Opinion has since been split on the reason for this unpopular reaction, with Hogan himself reportedly believing it is due to politics. Hogan was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during the 2024 US presidential election campaign.

Regardless, the booing of Hogan becoming a central talking point following the Raw Netflix premiere left WWE unhappy.
