The first Netflix episode of Monday Night Raw marked a unique shift for the long-running wrestling program. The event featured familiar WWE elements alongside subtle nods to the streaming giant's style.
Welcome to the Netflix era of WWE Monday Night Raw, where you’ll see Travis Scott smoking weed, Hulk Hogan (rightfully) getting booed, and sandwich commercials in between scenes of women beating each other up. Last night was the inaugural Netflix episode of Monday Night Raw, held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and the marks of the worldwide leader in streaming were unmistakable.
Announced a year ago, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what would be different about a television program that had been on cable for over 30 years. Would the wrestlers partake in a Squid Game challenge? Would Beyonce ride a horse into the middle of the ring for a halftime performance? Would The Rock cut a promo with the next Love Is Blind contestants? Thankfully, none of that happened, but these are the most Netflix-flavored moments from the debut of Monday Night Raw’s new era. Hulk Hogan booed into oblivion Via its documentaries about Reddit trolls manipulating the stock market, Vince McMahon being a sexual deviant media maverick, and Hulk Hogan himself destroying Gawker Media, Netflix loves to make sure you can binge on the worst parts of the human experience and never forget who the villains are in life. Last night, from the moment Hulk Hogan, flanked by an American flag-waving Jimmy Hart, strolled out as a surprise guest, the Intuit Dome crowd showered him with boos heard around the globe. Now, if this was NWO-era Hulk Hogan, it could’ve been chalked up to the fans participating in the WWE-engineered drama. Nope, this was “real American” Hulk Hogan, and the fans were reminding him they didn’t forget him divisively supporting President Donald Trump or privately spewing racist rhetoric. This is probably not the first time Netflix subscribers booed their TV screens at the sight of Hogan. The Rock and John Cena breaking the Netflix 4th wall In modern wrestling, there isn’t an imperceptible barrier between the fans and the inner workings of the business
