WWE held tribute shows for Hulk Hogan for the entire week following his passing, where several talent stood for the 10-bell salute for the Hulkster. Vince McMahon was obviously not invited to these and he has admitted he was upset for not inviting him.
While speaking during “TMZ Presents The Real Hulk Hogan,” host told Vince McMahon that Hulk Hogan’s 10-bell salute carried special meaning because of their long history and close friendship, and pointed out that McMahon must have had mixed emotions about not being part of it.
“Hulk, the 10-bell salute—you had such history and deep friendship. You must be having such mixed emotions that you weren’t able to be part of that. It really struck me that way.”
Vince McMahon agreed and said it struck him the same way, as he was visibly emotional and upset over WWE not inviting him to the tribute shows, saying, “Struck me that way as well.”
That’s not all as Vince McMahon was also furious over how fans treated Hulk Hogan during his final appearance on WWE television on the debut episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
For many years, Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan were two of the biggest names in professional wrestling, working together to shape its most successful period. McMahon not being invited was obvious since he has nothing to do with WWE anymore, so fans have no sympathy for him whatsoever.
