Hogan Faces Backlash at WWE RAW Premiere

Hulk Hogan's return to WWE on the Netflix premiere of Monday Night Raw was met with significant backlash from the audience, drawing widespread media attention. The crowd, including celebrities like O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Eric Andre, booed Hogan due to his past racist remarks, which surfaced in a 2015 leaked tape. Despite WWE's awareness of the potential controversy and their ongoing sponsorship with Hogan's Real American Beer, the reaction was more negative than anticipated. The backlash reflects a mix of resentment towards Hogan's past actions and his recent political affiliations, which some fans find hard to separate from his wrestling persona. WWE is reportedly considering using other legends to promote Hogan's brand, acknowledging the mixed reception. The incident has sparked various reactions from WWE insiders and fans alike, indicating a challenging path forward for Hogan's appearances in the wrestling world.
