For better or worse, that is.
The Hulkster, inarguably one of the biggest stars that WWE has ever produced, says that he wasnât shocked by the crowdâs reaction to him during his appearance on the companyâs debut episode of Raw on Netflix earlier this year.
Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, addressed the backlash that he received during his appearance while speaking with Pat McAfee on Monday during the latterâs ESPN show.
While broaching the subject of U.S. politics â Hogan has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and made several appearances on the campaign trail leading up to his re-election â the wrestling hall of famer acknowledged that his right-wing leanings played into the reaction.

âI think the politics had a whole lot to do with it, as you said,â Hogan said, after first, attempting to place some blame on the fact that he had previously been a heel when he came to Los Angeles as a member of the New World Order (NWO) faction.
âYou got to realize, last time I ran hard in L.A. I was Hollywood Hogan, I was riding dirty with the boys, (Kevin) Nash and (Scott) Hall, we were spray-painting people and crotch-shotting people and started out the âToo Sweetâ stuff,â Hogan said. âSo, the last time I was there as a heel.â
Hogan, 71, also was caught on camera in 2015 making racist comments, which led to WWE cutting ties with him for a period of time.

âI would assume you get into politics and also some other stuff,â McAfee said.
Hogan responded: âYeah, of course.â
âWhen youâre in the public eye for 40 years,â McAfee said, before Hogan followed: âYou do slip and fall a couple times.â

Hogan, as he always has been wont to do, put himself over for the attention that he received, albeit it negative.
âBut anyway, at the end of the day, we kind of looked at it the next day because I had like 11 billion impressions,â Hogan said of a clip of him being booed, âand some of the other guys, some of the big stars that were on that card that night, only had like 3 billion. Donât want to name names.â

Could Hulk Hogan be up for role in Donald Trump's administration?
Hogan then told McAfee â who also serves an announcer for WWE â that had he not been there to pitch his beer, he wouldâve turned this around on the raucous crowd.
âIf this was for wrestling, and they turned on me like that, I would have turned into Hollywood Hulk Hogan,â Hogan said. âSo, you hate me for everything Iâve done for all the Make A Wish kids and everything I did for your kids? Well, guess what? I did it for the money. And by the way, since you want so much hatred coming your way, I hope you have a good time when Kamala Harris is your new governor and youâre all standing in the soup line.
âMic drop, see ya. But I couldnât do that. But I was ready to go after them.â
