WWE legend Hulk Hogan was booed out of the building by fans during RAW's historic premiere on Netflix. Hogan, 71, is one of the most iconic professional wrestlers of all time and transformed the business during the 1980s and 90s by turning the sport into an international sensation.
However, The Hulkster's popularity has decreased is no longer a fan favourite, as shown by the reception he received on Monday at the Intuit Dome in California. The 12-time world champion appeared with legendary manager Jimmy Hart holding a massive American flag and cut a promo at the stage.
The ex-WWE Champion was met by loud boos from the live Los Angeles crowd. That was despite Hogan praising the fans as his "greatest ever tag team partner". The jeers got louder as he tried to promote his Real American Beer in an awkward monologue. Tensions appeared to rise and the two-time Hall of Famer looked to be stuttering over his words.
The ex-WCW Champion fell out of favour in 2015 when a shocking clip emerged showing him using racist language while repeatedly saying the n-word as he discussed daughter Brooke's love life. A joint investigation from RadarOnline and The National Enquirer found Hogan saying in the shocking tape: "I don't know if Brooke was f****** the black guy's son… I mean, I don't have double standards.
"I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f****** n*****. But then when it comes to nice people and s***, and whatever. "I mean, I'd rather if she was going to f*** some n*****, I'd rather have her marry an eight-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we're all a little racist. F****** n*****.".
