It's always best to leave the game before the game leaves you, something that Hogan simply hasn't been able to get through his bandana. For all of the things that Hogan has done throughout his career, whether it's in the ring or behind the scenes, people hating him and booing him out of buildings across the world is not something that has come out of left field, it's been happening for decades.

Once the glory years of WWE in the 1980s were over, fans wanted much less Hogan on their weekly wrestling shows. Less than two years into his run with WCW, people were already sick of seeing him, routinely cheering the "WCW guys" over the man who made WrestleMania famous. Even his run in WWE during the Ruthless Aggression era ran out of steam as quickly as it began, and then there's everything that happened with TNA that all culminated in 2015 with the sex tape scandal. Every company that Hogan has worked for at one point or another has had that moment where the fans turn on him, but because of who he is and what he's done during his career, there's a constant need to keep him around, whether that's his decision or not is irrelevant.

We are seeing that in 2025. Fans tuned in to "Raw's" debut on Netflix for the stars they had been connected to in the months and years leading up to that night, not to see a man who has openly admitted that he is racist and supports a President who has posed a massive threat to members of the LGBTQ+ community. All in all, Hogan will continue to be hated until he knows when to call it a day, and at this point, that isn't happening.
