Mark Henry was interviewed on TMZ in the aftermath of the WWE Raw and spoke about the L.A. crowd's response to Hogan, and how he tried to help Hogan following the public release of a video showing Hogan going on a racist rant back in 2007.
"He never wanted to go forward and fix it," Henry told TMZ. "That's what happens when you think that everything is gonna go away. It's not gonna go away. He thinks it's gonna go away. That it's not gonna be that dark cloud over his career."
"I offered," Henry continued, "to say 'Hey let's do a tour of the black colleges, law schools, and explain what happened.' He didn't want to do that."
Despite Henry's feelings on Hogan, he said, "I believe in giving second chances."
In case you missed it, during Hogan's WWE Raw segment to announuce his Real American Beer partnership with , the crowd turned against The Hulkster and showered him with boos. The segment was covered by major news outlets around the world.
It's unfortunate because Raw on Netflix was excellent in so many ways and doesn't deserve to be a Real American Jeer talking point.
