Hulk Hogan made an appearance at WWE Raw on Netflix premiere to promote his Real American Beer. Hogan was booed by the crowd in Los Angeles.
Speaking to Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee Show, Hogan was asked if he expected the reaction he got.
"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," he said.
Hogan was a very public supporter of Donald Trump during his presidential campaign. Hogan appeared at the Republican National Convention to put over Trump.
"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," he said.
