Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's recent appearance on "Monday Night Raw" at the Intuit Dome, alongside Jimmy Hart, has ignited a firestorm of reactions from fans and critics alike. The event, marking the debut of "Raw" on Netflix, saw Hogan enter the arena to his signature "Real American" theme song, only to be met with a chorus of boos from the Los Angeles audience.
This less-than-enthusiastic welcome contrasted sharply with the support Hogan received on social media, where many fans defended the wrestling legend. Some attributed the negative reception to the political climate of California, while others emphasized Hogan's enduring legacy in the world of professional wrestling.
Hogan's return to the WWE spotlight follows his vocal support for Donald Trump during the recent election season. His presence at Trump rallies and his outspoken commentary on political matters have further polarized public opinion of the wrestling star.
This appearance marked Hogan's first return to WWE programming since his public endorsement of Trump. His previous appearance, at the "Raw" anniversary show in January 2023, garnered a considerably warmer reception from the Philadelphia crowd.
Hogan's relationship with the WWE has been a complex one, marked by periods of both collaboration and estrangement. This latest appearance adds another chapter to the ongoing saga of Hulk Hogan's career, highlighting the intersection of sports, entertainment, and politics.
