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.

In multiple posts via Twitter/X, former WWE/TNA star Elijah Burke commented on the Los Angeles crowd’s reaction to Hogan…

“Hahaha… Hogan thought Cali was gonna 4get? Hogan screwed Hogan because while this was @WWE Netflix Debut, they should’ve waited until they got to a ‘Red State’ to bring on Hogan who was overly boisterous & opinionated during the presidential election. 🤭”

When a fan brought up how The Undertaker was cheered by the crowd despite endorsing Donald Trump for United States president, Burke stated the following…

“Undertaker is not a Trump supporter… Mark Calloway is….Therefore fans could care less about his personal views, he was not shoving it down their throats & certainly not using his Undertaker persona to promote it. Hogan is Hulk Hogan everywhere he goes and there’s no separation.”

Burke then wrote the following…

“Folk act like it’s Hogan’s first time back since racist remarks. He’s been back PLENTY of times on #WWERaw never got that type of reception. #HulkHogan was a poster boy for Trump’s campaign. Had #DonaldTrump walked out the boos would be ‘greater than any boos you’ve ever heard.'”
