Hulk Hogan is considered to be one of the all-time greats in wrestling; nevertheless, due to the controversial nature of some of his actions, many wrestling fans do not like him. Not for the first time, the 69-year-old wrestler’s squared circle entrance was met with boos from the crowd.
The love, respect, and reputation that Hulk had earned over the course of his professional wrestling career of more than four decades were shattered in a single moment. Hulk’s long-standing image in the industry was immediately damaged in 2015 after it was discovered that he had made harsh racist comments on a sex tape that had been leaked.

Not just one, but two terrible blows, one sex scandal, and another racism scandal, almost ruined Hulk, but he did survive the hit and managed to continue with WWE. Fans, on the other hand, have not forgotten what Hulk did and continue to boo and demonstrate their intense hatred whenever he makes an appearance in the squared circle.
In fact, the racism scandal was not the very first time Hogan got involved in such a catastrophe; previously, he admitted to using steroids for extra benefits in the ring. The fact that he admitted to using drugs did not damage his reputation, and neither did the incident on television in which he almost choked Richard Belzer.

Aside from the ones mentioned, apparently, Hulk used to drag down other wrestlers in order to dominate, all of which are reasons why he is still reviled by fans even in 2023.
FAKE NEWS. They booed the mic going out.
