— WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan appeared on the Pat McAfee show last week and of course one of the topics discussed was the overwhelming negative reaction that Hogan received at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere in Los Angeles. Hogan claimed that he expected to get booed and laughably suggested that it was because the last time he was in the city, he was a heel as part of the nWo.

“Oh, I did (expect to get booed). You’ve got to realize, the last time I ran hard in LA, I was a bad guy. I was Hollywood Hogan, man. I was riding dirty with the boys — you know, Nash and Hall. And we’re spray painting people and we’re crotch chopping everybody. Started out with the Too Sweet stuff. So last time I was there, I was a heel. But I think the politics had a whole lot to do with it, like you said.”

— When McAfee mentioned some other “stuff” along with the politics that Hogan may have been involved in that led to the booing, the Hall of Famer admitted that could have been a reason too by saying “Yeah, of course. You do slip and fall a couple times.”

Hulk Hogan says he expected to receive boo’s at the RAW on Netflix debut in LA.
