WWE legend Hulk Hogan made a surprise appearance this week at Netflix‘s “Monday Night Raw” in Los Angeles — but faced a sea of boos throughout his speech while he addressed the crowd.

The Hulkster, 72, entered the fan-packed Intuitive Dome in Inglewood to his classic walk-out song “Real American,” donning a shirt from his Real American Beer brand alongside his longtime on-screen manager Jimmy Hart.

However years of controversies, lies and more recently ardent campaigning for Donald Trump, have turned most wrestling fans against him.

In 2015, a racist rant featuring the n-word leaked as part of a sex tape, after which Hogan admitted being “a racist, to a point”.

Of note, Hogan said one of his main concerns after his son almost killed someone in a car accident was that he and his family would be reincarnated into a black family as “karma”.

Despite these horrific comments Hogan has been welcomed back to WWE multiple times since, but the fan response has gotten more negative each time.
