Why Was Hulk Hogan Booed at WWE's Netflix Premier?
Los Angeles, USAWed Jan 08 2025
Hulk Hogan, a legendary wrestling icon, faced a storm of boos during WWE's Netflix debut. Many blame his conservative political views and the liberal Los Angeles crowd. But it's not that simple. Hogan's career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, both in and out of the ring. He's known for his massive crowds and famous matches, but also for his backstage politics and refusal to help others shine.
His wrestling career peaked in the '80s and '90s, with record-breaking events. However, he's also known for stealing the spotlight from younger stars. For instance, he interrupted the main event at WrestleMania 9, leaving fans bitter. This isn't the only time he's been accused of not playing fair.
Outside the ring, Hogan has faced controversies, like racist comments caught on tape and a leaked sex tape. Despite apologies, these incidents have left a bad taste in fans' mouths. While politics played a part in the booing, it's not the whole story. Hardcore wrestling fans have long had a love-hate relationship with Hogan. His recent political appearances just added fuel to the fire.
