WWE is often up-to-date with its technical things. This was a surprise for several fans worldwide to see this glitch on live TV.

Monday Night RAW kickstarted on January 11th 1993 and since then it has been on the regular weekly shows on TV. However, Hogan, who was a major star back then, wasn’t present on the first ever episode of the red brand.

In the early 90s, The Hulkster had left WWE and took a break from professional wrestling for a while until WCW came banging his door. Nevertheless, Hogan made his RAW debut a month later in a prerecorded interview.
