Wrestlers Who Were Mercilessly Booed

Concluding with the most recent example of fans letting a wrestling company know that they hate the person is Hulk Hogan's appearance on the January 6, 2025 episode of "WWE Raw." The show was a historic one as it was WWE's debut on Netflix, and to attract as many eyes to the product as possible, some of the biggest names in WWE history dropped in to say hello. The Rock, John Cena, and The Undertaker all received warm welcomes, but Hogan didn't, and it's not hard to see why.

Back in 2015, Hogan landed himself in the hottest of waters when a sex tape that was filmed in 2007 surfaced online that saw Hogan going on an anti-black rant where he used multiple racial slurs, stated that he had a problem with his daughter Brooke dating a black man, and openly admitted to being a racist to a point. Wrestling fans have long memories and that scandal has stuck with Hogan since it happened, hence why he was also booed heavily at WrestleMania 37 when he hosted the event with Titus O'Neil, who was cheered massively. 

The other main reason why Hogan got such a bad reaction was his very public endorsement of US President Donald Trump. While other WWE stars like Logan Paul and The Undertaker have also endorsed him, Hogan has appeared at multiple political rallies during the lead-up to the 2024 Presidential Election. Given his track record, fans weren't going to forgive "The Hulkster" just because his beer was a sponsor for the show, and even though he was reportedly surprised and disappointed at the reaction, Hogan is still going to appear on WWE TV throughout 2025 regardless of merciless the boos might be.
