There was a time when Hulk Hogan was the biggest wrestling star in the world. Everyone loved him at some point, whether he was telling kids to say their prayers and eat their vitamins or as Hollywood Hogan in the NWO. However, his reputation continues to sour over time and plenty of fans don't love him like they used to before. That notion continues on one of the biggest nights WWE will have all year.

Recently, Hogan came out for WWE's debut Monday Night Raw on Netflix at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. There, he tries to get the crowd pumped up for a new era for the company and combs through history. Additionally, Hulk promoting his Real American beer, especially now that he's partnering with WWE and placing his logo prominently on the mat.
Typically, a wrestling legend of his magnitude would receive a warm, rapturous response from the crowd. Earlier in the night, The Rock, John Cena, and The Undertaker got their flowers from the LA audience. However, when the Real American theme song hit, the results were... mixed at best for Hulk.
Hulk Hogan Gets No Love From The Crowd at Huge WWE Show
It probably doesn't help that Hogan insists on reminding everyone of his social and political beliefs. Before the big show, cameras capture him prominently wearing a 'MAGA Powers' shirt. It's a play on the Mega Powers with Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth back in the 80s. However, Hulk slants it to highlight Donald Trump and JD Vance instead.
Clearly, people don't take kindly to that or his litany of racist slurs he's spewed in the past. Moreover, the people let him know that he's not welcome in this current era of wrestling. For instance, one person on Twitter spotlights the boos drowning out Hogan's voice. "Watching Hulk Hogan get annihilated with boos while trying to sell his ripoff Bud Light beer was effing IN-CREDIBLE. And I grew up a Hulkamaniac. The crowd ultimately dictates the story and Hulkamania is dead, killed by Terry Bollea," they write.
