Hulk Hogan remains one of the most popular 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. Hulk Hogan was booed at WrestleMania 37 when he was introduced with Titus O’Neil as the hosts of the pay-per-view, which all stemmed from him using racial slurs in a leaked 2015 sex tape. A WWE Hall Of Famer also attacked Hulk Hogan after WWE RAW botch.
Legendary wrestler and commentator Dutch Mantell recently reminisced about his experience at the WWE WrestleMania 30 event, where he managed The Real Americans in a tag team match. He also remembered the iconic moment when Hulk Hogan, one of the biggest names in professional wrestling, suffered a slip of the tongue and referred to the venue as the Silverdome instead of the Caesars Superdome (then known as the Mercedes-Benz Superdome) in New Orleans.
The mistake was particularly noteworthy as the Silverdome was the site of Hogan’s legendary victory over Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3. Mantell’s recollection of this unforgettable moment in WWE history serves as a testament to the enduring impact Hogan has had on the industry.
On Story Time with Dutch Mantell, he disclosed his initial reaction after The Hulkster’s amusing mistake:
“I’m sitting in the back,” Mantell said. “I was on that show. You know guys sit in the back and they go, ‘Let’s see what he’s got to say,’ and I’m like this [looking disinterested], and [Hogan says], ‘The Silverdome,’ and I went, ‘What the hell?’ Of course it didn’t get by Rock and Stone Cold because they went in the ring and roasted him! The people, they loved that anyway. He just forgot where he was.”
