The 71-year-old WWE Hall of Famer was seen for several minutes before walking to the back.
The Los Angeles crowd was quick to voice their displeasure, but not everyone watching “Raw” on Netflix was happy with the way Hogan was treated. “The Hulkster” has found champions on social media.
“Hulk Hogan gets booed probably because California is the biggest left-wing state in the country. Express your political views and watch pro wrestling,” one Hogan fan wrote on X.
“I love Hulk Hogan. Guy's made some mistakes in his life, but oh well. Hmm, people act holier-than-thou. P–stop it.” added another Hogan defender.

Another fan wrote: “The booing for Hulk Hogan is outrageous, he's a legend by the way. I respect him.”
“Hulk Hogan gets booed on RAW because he's a MAGA. Hehehe, hypocrite. You can't watch WWE without Hogan. Grow up, Trump is your president,” he added. There were some people.
It was Hogan's first appearance since he announced his full support for President-elect Donald Trump during the campaign. Mr. Hogan was in Mr. Trump's corner at a rally at Madison Square Garden in October and at the Republican National Convention in July.
He also appeared on the PBD Podcast and explained why he decided to speak out, citing the assassination attempt on President Trump that took place over the summer.
“I was even more shocked when they tried to kill Mr. Trump, who I knew personally,” he said. “I got up off the couch and said, 'It's over, this has to stop.' As a businessman, I don't want to divide the audience, but right now this is much more important than business. This is spiritual It's a revolution.
“This man came out trying to help people. He wants to help millions of people. He wants to help America. Our country, our home, my Please put God in our schools, and I said, “I can't stand it.''
Hogan's appearance in Los Angeles came about two months after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.
