Hulk Hogan Comments Claiming He Expected to be Booed at WWE RAW Netflix Premiere Show

As noted before, WWE’s RAW premiere show on Netflix in Inglewood, California this past January was notable for WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan being loudly booed by the live crowd throughout his whole promo segment appearance.

A recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show featured Hogan as one of the guests. One of the topics discussed included Hogan claiming that he had fully expected to be booed by the crowd for his appearance on the show due to his past time as a member of the nWo.

“I did. You have to realize, the last I ran hard in LA, I was a bad guy. I was Hollywood Hogan and riding dirty with [Kevin] Nash and [Scott] Hall, spray painting people and crotch chopping everybody. Last time I was there, I was a heel. I think the politics had a whole lot to do with it. At the end of the day, we looked at it the next day because I had eleven billion impressions, and some of the big stars that were on the card that night only had three billion. I don’t want to name names. [Does ear cup]. Give me some more.”

Hogan also gave his thoughts about the negative reaction he received.

“I was talking about the beer, we’re in a relationship with WWE, they are my partner in this thing, and I had to be a good guy in LA. If this was for wrestling and they turned on me like that, I would have turned into Hollywood Hogan. You hate me for all I’ve done and the Make A Wish Kids and all I’ve done for your kids? Guess what. I did it for the money. Since you want so much hatred coming your way, I hope you have a good time when Kamala Harris is your new governor and you’re all standing in the soup line. Mic drop, see ya. I couldn’t do that. I was ready to go after them.”
