Hulk only has one question for Apple. "Whatcha gonna' do?"

Last night's 'Legends Night' edition of WWE Raw opened with Hulk Hogan shilling some merchandise.

No, he didn't have a new t-shirt. No, Hulk wasn't encouraging fans to hit the Mall Of America and chow down on pasta. Instead, the icon was bizarrely written to spoof Apple's long-running iPhone and introduce the pretend 'hPhone' as a replacement people should rush out and buy.

This skit might've landed better had it happened back in 2007 when the smartphones had just launched. It felt outdated and rather weird in 2021 - sort of like your grandad thinking he's hip and happening because he just stumbled upon this brand new Nintendo Wii craze.

Of course, being out of touch with modern culture was kinda' the gist of Hogan's joke, but it was quite a strange way to kick off the program.

Hulk said that fans could use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube on his 'brand new' device. Then, he held an iPhone that just so happened to have a Hulkamania case and Hogan background.

Again, there's only one question to ask: Apple, whatcha gonna' do when the 'hPhone' runs wild on you?
