Hulk Hogan returned to WWE Raw on Netflix and had a small segment. The WWE Hall of Famer was booed out of the arena by the fans who expressed disappointment over his presence. Even as Hulk tried to woo the fans, he was unsuccessful doing so and the fans continued to boo anything he said.
Hulk was scheduled to have a small segment on WWE Raw's Netflix Premiere as he is one of the wrestlers to have done a lot for WWE's business in the 1980s and the 1990s. WWE attempted to get some of its biggest legends like Hulk, The Rock, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Undertaker on the show.

While Cena and The Rock were present on the show by default, Hulk and The Undertaker showed up with small segments. Stone Cold reportedly turned down the offer to show up on WWE Raw. While many expected Hulk to have a good reception from the fans, it was the total opposite.
Hulk Hogan gets booed by fans on WWE Raw on Netflix
As Hogan's music hit, the veteran entered the arena with Jimmy Carter who came with the USA's flag. As soon as the duo entered the arena, the fans started to boo them. The commentators loved the fact that they could get a glimpse of yet another WWE legend. However, fans showed their disapproval with constant booing.
Hogan could not understand why he was booed in the arena. For a moment, he stood shell-shocked. While some of the fans sang his song, others showed their disapproval. The segment went viral on social media and not many could understand the motive behind him getting booed.
While many claimed it to be a political retaliation from a certain sect of the fans, others claimed there were many reasons behind him getting booed. Hulk touched upon the importance of WWE being broadcast by Netflix and felt it could be great for the expansion of the company. But him getting booed turned out to be the most unexpected segment of the night.
