Hulk Hogan may be a WWE legend, but that doesn’t mean he’s a fan favorite in 2025.

During WWE’s debut on Netflix, Hogan appeared on RAW in front of over 17,000 fans in Los Angeles, primarily to promote his drink “Real American Beer.”

WWE announced a multi-year partnership with Hogan’s Beer the day before RAW and the logo was plastered on the ring mat during the show.

When Hogan came out to address the crowd, it didn’t take long for them to let him know exactly how they felt.

The now 71-year-old Hulkster tried to convey to the WWE audience that he was the best tag team partner he ever had. Their reaction was to boo him out of the building.

The former 12-time world champion was visibly surprised by the reaction and stuttered a bit over his words before finishing his rehearsed promo.

In the 1980s, Hogan was the driving force behind WWE’s rise from a regional promotion centered around New York to an international brand.

He is undoubtedly one of the most popular and successful babyfaces of all time and was the catalyst for WrestleMania’s success, main eventing eight of the first nine events.

Hulk Hogan was obviously expecting cheers, but that wasn’t in the cards in Los Angeles

But in recent years, his beloved status has long since disappeared.

Hogan was kicked out of WWE after a tape surfaced of him making racist comments, many of which included the N-word.

He was banned from WWE for three years before being reinstated into the Hall of Fame in 2018, but many WWE Superstars were unhappy with his “apology” upon his return.

It was said that Hogan talked about being more careful about what you say on camera rather than the content of what he said.

More recently, Hogan became a prominent supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in the United States, which he ultimately won.

Himmy Hart waving the American flag did nothing to alleviate the boos

WWE is making more money than ever and has a well-stocked roster compared to any era. There’s no need for Hogan to make an appearance, although you can understand why WWE thought it was a good idea given the historical nature of the show and his connection to it.

Many fans groaned at the idea of ​​Hogan showing up, and the content of his promo only made things worse. One has to assume that both Hogan and WWE will take the hint.
