Will Smith seemed to take exception to a joke Chris Rock told at the Academy Awards and slapped him.

Hogan didn't give a reason for the Strong No Sell.

The act of not reacting to an opponent's move is defined by Bleacher Report.

The sports site says this could be part of a stunt or a sign of disrespect.

Rock's head swung back after he was hit, but he remained upright and clearheaded.

The funnyman said that Will Smith just hit him.

Hogan fans believed the conflict between Smith and Rock was staged to boost ratings.

If you watch Wil's footwork, you will see his left foot hit the floor at the second impact.

The man who died in December was a professional wrestler.

Hogan's followers suspected Smith worked himself into a scripted move designed to look as though it were real.

Another skeptic said that it was not the real deal.

One grappling fan said that Smith had turned a character into a villain. Hogan can speak as an expert on the topic, according to others.

Smith apologized for hitting Rock.

I was wrong and I was out of line, the star said.

Rock has so far declined to press charges against Smith. The joke Rock made about Smith's wife was not part of an earlier rehearsal for the live show, according to Rolling Stone. Smith was allowed to return to his seat and remain in the theater after hitting the host on stage.

The confrontation was not part of a show rehearsal and was real according to a Variety reporter.

A request for comment was not returned by Hogan's rep.
