>According to WrestleVotes during a Backstage Pass Q&A session, WWE is rethinking Hogan’s role moving forward. While his merchandise continues to rake in impressive numbers on WWE Shop, the company is reportedly leaning toward using him in pre-recorded content, such as documentary interviews and commercials, rather than live TV appearances. WrestleVotes explained, “They will do a lot of documentary interviews with him going forward, they may have him on commercials… but as far as live appearances, you may not see him as often.”
>Off-camera, the reception was just as brutal. Fans in the Intuit Dome erupted into “F*** Hulk Hogan” chants, adding to the hostility during his live promo. Even a pre-recorded commercial featuring Hogan promoting Saturday Night’s Main Event was booed heavily by the crowd. The reaction served as a reminder that Hogan’s past racist comments continue to overshadow his legacy.
>Hogan himself appears to believe politics played a role in the backlash. Earlier reports claim that Hogan attributed the boos to Los Angeles being a more liberal city that doesn’t align with his political values. “He thought it was going to be 50/50,” Featherstone noted, highlighting Hogan’s expectations versus the reality of the fan response.
