Hulk Hogan Addresses Booing at WWE Netflix Debut, Citing Politics and Past Persona

The wrestling icon reflects on the mixed reception during his return, attributing it to his political views and his 'Hollywood Hogan' heel history.

Hulk Hogan was heavily booed during his appearance at WWE Raw's Netflix debut on January 6, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Hogan attributes the negative reaction partially to his support for Donald Trump and the liberal leanings of the California crowd.
He also suggested his past 'Hollywood Hogan' heel persona in the 1990s might have influenced some fans' reactions.
Hogan refrained from responding in character due to his promotional partnership with WWE for his 'Real American Beer' brand.
The wrestling legend acknowledged the backlash but highlighted the significant online engagement his segment generated.
