Eric Bischoff is convinced that Hulk Hogan being booed out of the building at WWE RAW was a “one-off”

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 discussed how fans will react to future WWE appearances from Hogan…

“It’s just another one of those things where people are going to fall down on one or the other side of the fence, depending on what their pre-determined perspectives already are. Debating it doesn’t really matter but he’s drawing massive crowds everywhere else. He’s out promoting his beer and thousands of people are standing outside in the cold waiting for an opportunity to meet him.”

“I think that was a one-off. I’m convinced of it. Anybody that hasn’t spent any real time in LA and in the working environment, you don’t realize how oppressive, overwhelmingly liberal — and I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m not taking sides, it just is what it is folks, and that large segment of LA, their politics have become their religion, and they get really, really invested. So, I’m convinced that was it.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
