WWE legend Hulk Hogan made a special appearance at the Intuit Dome with Jimmy Hart when “Monday Night Raw” debuted on Netflix.
Hogan came out with his theme song “Real American” with Hart waving the American flag in the background. As Hogan attempted to cut a promo for his Real American Beer brand, which signed a deal with WWE before the show, he was met with plenty of boos from the Los Angeles crowd.

The WWE Hall of Famer, 71, was seen for a few minutes before walking back.
While the Los Angeles crowd was quick to voice their displeasure, not everyone who watched “Raw” on Netflix was happy with the treatment Hogan received. “The Hulkster” found defenders on social media.
“Hulk Hogan is getting booed probably because the state of California is the biggest shithole state on the left side of the country. Fuck your political opinions and watch wrestling,” one Hogan fan wrote on X.
“I love Hulk Hogan idgaf. Guy had a whole life and made some mistakes, so what? Damn people who act holier than holy. F— out,” another Hogan defender added.

“The boos for Hulk Hogan are bullshit, by the way, he’s a legend, respect that,” another fan wrote.
“That Hulk Hogan is booed on Raw is because he is MAGA. Damn hypocrites. Without Hogan you won’t watch WWE. Grow up, Trump is your president,” added another.
It was Hogan’s first appearance since expressing his full support for 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, pointing to the assassination attempt on Trump over the summer.
“When they tried to kill Trump, someone I knew personally, it affected me the worst,” he said. “I sat on the couch and said, ‘That’s it, this has to stop.’ I don’t want to divide my audience as a businessman, but I don’t care now. This is much bigger than business. It’s a spiritual revolution now. .
“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 stand it.'” ‘”
Hogan’s appearance in Los Angeles came about two months after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.

Hogan, along with Hart, appeared on the “Raw” anniversary show in January 2023. He warmed up the crowd in Philadelphia at the time and received a completely opposite reception.
The professional wrestler’s relationship with the company has been hot and cold. He has had multiple separations from the company due to various scandals.
