The WWE might want to think twice about using Hulk Hogan on TV after Monday night’s fiasco.
During Raw’s first-ever show on Netflix, the 72-year-old Hogan, who had trouble walking out of the tunnel, came out to his “Real American” theme song with Jimmy Hart in tow carrying an American flag. After the initial pop to his theme song, the 17,000-plus crowd at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles started booing the Hulkster out of the building.

Hogan pitched his Real American Beer and the Raw premiere on Netflix and it just got worse as soon as he opened his mouth.
“In the past, I’ve had a whole bunch of partners down the line. I had incredible partners, like the Macho Man Randy Savage. I’ve had giant-sized partners like Andre the Giant,” Hogan said to vociferous boos that were nearly drowning him out. “But the greatest partner the WWE has ever had, is the fact that tonight, we’re making history, and the WWE has tag teamed up with Netflix, the greatest tag team partner of all time.”

After the pitch, Hogan appeared to angrily storm to the back. Cassidy Haynes of BodySlam.net revealed that Hogan was not happy with his reception in Los Angeles.
“Hulk walked to the back so mad. Amazing job Los Angeles,” Haynes posted on X.
Hogan has been swirling in controversy for years after being caught making a racist remark on video. He also appeared at the Republican National Convention to endorse polarizing President-elect Donald Trump.
