WWE RAW’s Netflix Premiere featured a surprising moment when Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was booed by fans in the arena. On such a historic night for WWE RAW, the promotion decided to bring several legends to the show.
Among these legends was Hulk Hogan, who appeared at the Inuit Dome alongside his long-time manager and friend Jimmy Hart. Before the premiere, WWE announced a partnership with Hogan to promote his latest product, Real American Beer.
As part of the collaboration, the Real American Beer logo was displayed on the ring mat during the Netflix premiere episode. However, when Hogan promoted his beer during the show, the crowd greeted him with resounding boos. Many speculate that this reaction stemmed from his political views and past racist remarks.
While Hulk Hogan has come a long way since those controversies, it seems the fans in Los Angeles were not ready to welcome the Hulkster. Amid this controversial incident, top WWE Superstar Bronson Reed issued an apology.
