There is no doubt that Hulk Hogan is one of the most well-known pro wrestlers in the world of professional wrestling, with his influence in the business never being understated. However, his troubled past concerning racism has ultimately led to his downfall. Seth Rollins isn’t a big fan of Hulk Hogan either.
Hulk Hogan was booed at WrestleMania 37 when he was introduced with Titus O’Neil as the hosts of the pay-per-view. This all stemmed from him using racial slurs in a leaked 2015 sex tape.
While speaking on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, former WWE Superstar Mario Mancini claimed that Hulk Hogan got wrestling legend George Scott fired as a booker in 1986.
“George Scott was the booker and George Scott loved me. I would have had quite a different career if George Scott stayed the booker and not Pat Patterson. George Scott got fired because he wanted to put the strap [title] on Randy Savage right away. Hogan, he went, and he pitched and bitched to Vince, and [Vince] fired George and brought in Pat.”
Mancini worked for WWE between 1984 and 1992. His most notable opponents include Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase Sr., and The Undertaker. Hogan will remain controversial no matter what in the end.
