The 71-year-old WWE Hall of Famer was seen for a few minutes before heading to the back.

While Los Angeles audiences were quick to express their displeasure, not everyone watching “Raw” on Netflix was happy with the treatment Hogan received. “The Hulkster” found defenders on social media.

“Hulk Hogan will probably be booed because the state of California is the largest left-leaning state in the country. F— your political views and watch the wrestling,” one Hogan fan wrote on X.

“I love Hulk Hogan idgaf. Guy’s had a whole life and made a few mistakes, so what. F—–g people who act holier than holy. P— off,” another Hogan defender added.

“Booing Hulk Hogan is r——er by the way, he’s a legend, respect him,” another fan wrote.

“Hulk Hogan getting booed on Raw is because he’s MAGA. Damn hypocrites. You won’t watch WWE without Hogan. Grow up, Trump is your president,” another added.

It was Hogan’s first appearance since fully supporting President-elect Donald Trump during the election season. Hogan was seen in Trump’s corner during a rally at Madison Square Garden in October and at the Republican National Convention in July.

He also appeared on the “PBD Podcast” and revealed why he decided to speak out, citing the assassination attempt against Trump over the summer.

“When they tried to kill Trump, someone I knew personally, it hit me even worse,” he said. “I sat up from the couch and said, ‘This is it, this has to stop.’ As a businessman, I don’t want to divide my audience, but now I don’t care. Now this is a spiritual revolution.

“This guy is trying to help people. He wants to help millions of people. He wants to help America. Have God in our country, in our homes, in our schools, and I said, ‘I can’t handle this.’ .’”

Hogan’s appearance in Los Angeles came about two months after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.
