It was not immediately clear why the crowd took exception to a man who first entered the ring in 1977 and went on to win six World Wrestling Entertainment championships, the last coming in 2002 when he defeated the now company CEO Triple H for as short reign, and be inducted into the WWE’s Hall of Fame not once but twice.

In 2015, he was temporarily removed from the WWE Universe when a shocking video emerged of him repeatedly using the n-word to describe his daughter’s rumored boyfriend. However in 2018, all was forgiven and Hogan once more began making appearances for the Connecticut-based promotion.

However, Hogan’s increasingly vocal support for President-elect Donald Trump might have been behind it, although wrestling is not generally known for attracting a liberal audience.

Fuck yeah. Great use of turd burglar. I don't see it often anymore and it feels like a dying breed.
