'So, when he came out, got booed, and then went to the back after his promo, he was instantly disappointed that the fans turned on him. But he wasn't p*ssed!. 'Had it not been for him being there to promote his beer, he would have leaned into it a little more, but he just had to get through the promotion of it all. But after thinking about it, a few good things came out of it.

Hulk Hogan, now 71, was a special guest on Monday Night Raw as WWE took Netflix by storm. Despite having a flag-waving Jimmy Hart alongside him, Hulk Hogan was booed by the crowd. 'The fact that he was booed, everyone talked about it, and he's been in the wrestling business long enough to know, that even a bad reaction goes a long way, because if they aren't cheering for you or aren't booing you then they don't care at all.
