Can't call Savage,Warrior or Heenan to celebrate Gene so nobody should really have a issue with this.

Misread as black and thought it was an extreme apology attempt.

I wouldnt be surprised if it was just a pre-taped video package. If he's coming out live, get ready for the biggest mixed reaction ever.

I'm glad I just watch highlights on Raw now, so I don't have to to watch his return

I understand that Hogan is one of the first people you think of when you think of Gene's career, but they were looking for a reason to get him back on TV.
I'm sad that Mean Gene passing is the reason they decided to go with, but I'm not surprised.

"Well you know something Mean Gene..." is the way everyone who isn't a wrestler delivers their hypothetical wrestling promos in their head.

I have zero problem with this. In fact that’s exactly the guy to do it.

I don't think people will boo him since it will be for a Mean Gene tribute, but if they do at least WWE will get this out of their system and not try it again.

“Well you know something/let me tell you something Mean Gene” is an iconic promo line. Hogan and Gene go together for a lot of people who watched wrestling in the mid/late 80s. I don’t see the issue with it considering the circumstances. Of course it’s WWE’s way of getting Hulk back on TV for reasons that no one will complain about, so there’s that.

Mean Gene and Hogan are intrinsically linked right back from AWA, through to Gene's one and only match tagging with him (preceded by THAT training video montage) through to the classic Hogan-era promos, the fact he was part of the Hoganfication of WCW in the 90s (despite arriving some months before) that night Hogan turned heel he was standing in the ring and the fact that he's been brought back post 2002 on several occasions to do skits/interviews with Hogan.
Gene was a massive part of WWE and a huge part of Hulk Hogan's career and probably closer to him than any living personality associated with wrestling. It's right Hogan should be asked to pay tribute to him.
