After Hulk Hogan got booed on the RAW Netflix premiere, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long said that he likes and respects the Hulkster, and is confused why the fans booed him.
Here’s what Long said about his relationship with Hogan:
“Hulk, and I mean, he’s a great guy. I had the opportunity to be with him back when the nWo started. Hogan was always someone who pulled me aside, talked to me, and told me things that I needed to know and hear.
The last time I saw Hogan, we were at a TV taping, and he called me from across the arena to introduce me to his new wife. He didn’t have to do that, you know what I mean?
So, I look at things like that. If he took the time to call me over and introduce me to his new wife, that shows me, you know, hey, I’ve got no problem with you.”
Long received backlash from some fans for praising Hogan, which led to Long saying the following on The Wrestling Time Machine podcast:
“Well, maybe they don’t understand what I meant when I said I support Hulk Hogan. I never said, ‘I supported Hulk Hogan.’ The only thing I said is ‘Hogan and I have always been okay.’ I can’t help what he said or any of the racial stuff he said. That’s on Hogan. Okay?
He’s always been a gentleman to me. The man called me out of the blue one time and did something with me that I know he didn’t have to do. So, I have a lot of respect for people when they do stuff like that, especially for me.
If Hulk Hogan makes any of these racial slurs, Hulk Hogan’s gotta live with that, not Teddy Long. All I can say is he’s never mistreated me, he’s always been straight up and fair with me and that’s all I can say about the man.”
