Eric Bischoff comments on why Hulk Hogan was booed out of the building at RAW’s Netflix debut

At the Netflix premiere of WWE RAW on January 6th 2025, Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan cut a promo with longtime manager Jimmy Hart to hype up the event and promote his Real American Beer product. Despite praising the fans, Hogan was largely booed during the segment.

While speaking on his podcast, Hogan’s former boss Eric Bischoff commented on why Hogan received a negative reaction…

“You know, if you’re someone who hasn’t spent a lot of time in California — particularly LA or San Francisco — you’ve heard all the stories about how liberal it is and all that. But until you’ve been there and realize just how intensely liberal and Democrat California is, you might not think that that could possibly be the reason why Hulk got booed. But Hulk and Trump are kind of joined at the hip now, in the eyes of many. At least publicly, given Hulk’s involvement in — and of course, you’re gonna have some backlash in California. You can’t be shocked, you can’t be surprised. You could be disappointed, but you can’t be surprised.” (quote courtesy of 411Mania.com)
