Hulk Hogan has finally reacted to Pat McAfee’s viral parody skit, but if anyone expected a fiery response, they’re out of luck. Instead, The Hulkster played it cool, cracking open a beer with McAfee and keeping things light.

During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on February 3, Hogan brought up the now-infamous skit, laughing as he asked, “That skit you did was crazzzy! Who was in the suit?” McAfee, however, didn’t bite—before he could even respond, the conversation took a sharp turn, shifting to WWE’s new ownership as the two threw back beers.

McAfee’s parody, which mocked Hogan’s reaction to being booed at WWE Raw’s Netflix debut, stirred plenty of discussion. While some fans saw it as harmless fun, others pointed out its uncomfortable focus on Black wrestlers, considering Hogan’s past controversies. But if anyone was expecting Hogan to be offended, his reaction made it clear—he’s either unbothered or just playing the game.

Hulk Hogan might have been the butt of the joke, but if his reaction is anything to go by, he’s not sweating it. Instead of firing back, he laughed it off, downed a beer, and moved on—classic Hogan.

Whether that’s him taking the high road or just dodging the heat is up for debate. But one thing’s for sure: when it comes to controversy, The Hulkster always finds a way to keep himself in the conversation.
