Former pro wrestler and MAGA fan Hulk Hogan was widely mocked after being heavily booed by fans during WWE's Monday Night Raw when it premiered on Netflix while plugging his Real American Beer brand.
Hogan, rumored to be making an appearance, entered the arena roughly two and a half hours into the show to the sound of his iconic walk-out song, “Real American.” Accompanied by Jimmy Hart, Hogan was met with a chorus of boos from the crowd as he promoted his beer and praised the WWE for its partnership with Netflix.
When he stepped out, he said:
“In the past, I’ve had a whole bunch of partners down the line. I had incredible partners, like the Macho Man Randy Savage. I’ve had giant-sized partners like Andre the Giant."
"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.”
But the boos were loud and fierce—and a flummoxed Hogan just stood there, forced to take them all in.

He was mocked in response.
Hogan has been the subject of MAGA controversy more than once.
He was criticized following a speech he gave at the Republican National Convention over the summer. At the time, Hogan referred to Trump as his "hero" and decried the attempt on Trump's life just days prior before removing his jacket and ripping through his shirt to reveal a Trump 2024 tank top.
Hogan, who said America should let "Trumpamania run wild" also made headlines weeks later for a similar outburst at an event to promote his new Real American Beer during which he joked about "body-slamming" Vice President Kamala Harris. Hogan also called Harris a "chameleon," questioning her racial identity.
