When WWE Raw made its much-anticipated debut on Netflix in January, it included an appearance from former company legend Hulk Hogan for the first time in several years. Hogan was there to promote his Real American beer brand. But rather than cheers, he was met with staunch boos that clear caught the former superstar off guard.
Hogan, of course, has been at the center of controversy for several years after he was heard using a racial slur on a leaked recording when discussing the African American men his daughter Brooke had dated.
Shortly after the episode, Hogan made an appears on the the Pat McAfee Show and discussed the incident. He told McAfee he expected to be booed.
“Oh, I did. Yeah,” Hogan said. “There’s the political stuff, but you gotta realize, last time I ran hard in LA, I was a bad guy. I was Hollywood Hogan. I was riding dirty with the boys, [Kevin] Nash and [Scott] Hall, and we were spray-painting people and crotch-shotting everybody, started the Too Sweet stuff. So last time I was there. I was a heel. But I think the politics had a whole lot to do with it, like you said.”
Yeah, sure Hulk.

“I am all for people getting what they deserve,” Rollins said during an appearance on Good Morning Football. “That’s how I feel about Hulk Hogan getting booed [on Raw]. If you are getting booed by the masses, there’s a reason for it, alright, so I don’t know if Hulk fully understands the scope, but people get what they deserve. So I’m happy to see it, I love to see it.”
Rollins went on to say that he was once Hogan’s biggest fans, but that Hogan hasn’t owned up to what he said and that until he does, he’ll keep getting those sorts of reactions.
