Hulk Hogan’s final WWE television appearance came on the January 6 episode of RAW, where the crowd greeted him with boos. A new documentary has now revealed how strongly Vince McMahon reacted to that moment.
The detail comes from a trailer for TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan. When the host pointed out the negative crowd reaction, McMahon was direct about how he felt.

“I was angry. He deserved much more.”
The broadcast picked up the boos clearly, while fans in the arena also reported hearing chants of “F*** Hulk Hogan” that didn’t make it to air. Hogan, however, later said he didn’t mind being booed in big markets like Los Angeles.
McMahon’s response highlights the long, complicated history between the two. Over decades, they experienced highs and lows, but their working relationship was built on mutual respect. For McMahon, the reaction that night was a sign of disrespect toward someone who helped shape the company.
Hogan’s last WWE moment also ran counter to his own hopes. Friends say he held on to the idea of wrestling one more match until the end, a match that never happened. McMahon’s reaction to that final appearance adds a sharp closing note to the career of one of wrestling’s most iconic and divisive figures.
