Retired WWE legend Hulk Hogan found himself roundly booed by a stadium of wrestling fanatics on the opening night of Netflix’s Monday Night Raw this week.
Flanked by his longtime on-screen manager Jimmy Hart and sporting a vest bearing the name of Real American Beer –his new brew, which has just signed a multi-year partnership with the streaming giant – Hogan attempted to salvage the situation.
The veteran star, 71, real name Terry Bollea, made a surprise appearance during the event at the Intuitive Dome in Inglewood in Los Angeles, on Monday night but did not receive the warm welcome he was clearly expecting.
“But the greatest partner the WWE has ever had, is the fact that tonight, we’re making history, and the WWE has tag-teamed up with Netflix, the greatest tag-team partner of all time.”.
