Speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show," Hogan addressed being booed on the debut of "Raw" on Netflix, explaining he would have chosen to turn heel on the audience if he was not promoting his beer company.

Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, blamed his right-wing political leanings for why WWE fans booed him mercilessly in his surprise return on “Raw” on Jan. 6 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif for the program’s Netflix debut.

Hulk Hogan received boos at the WWE RAW Netflix premiere, which he anticipated due to his past villainous persona, Hollywood Hogan. Hogan explained the audience's reaction was influenced by both his previous heel character and ongoing political factors.
