Hulk Hogan, 71, who passed away this month, was “devastated” by the negative feedback the crowd had during his final WWE showdown.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was ‘devastated’ by the boos he heard from the audience during his final WWE appearance before his death aged 71. The star was found “experiencing a serious medical-related issue” in a house on Eldorado Avenue in Florida and was taken to Morton Plant Hospital in the morning of July 24.
He died at 11.17am in the hospital, and there were “no signs of foul play or suspicious activity”, Major Nate Burnside said in a statement. It was recently reported that the wrestler died from acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, per the Pinellas County Forensic Science Centre.
The star, real name Terry Bollea, was said to be poorly in the weeks leading up to his death, but his reps were forced to deny speculations about his health. It comes after Sharon Osbourne broke down in tears at Ozzy’s funeral in heartbreaking scenes.
In addition to hosting guests on Netflix’s WWE series Raw, Hogan took to the stage at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, six months before his passing.
Jimmy Hart, Hogan’s long-time friend and manager, recently claimed Hogan was upset by the audience’s negative response and that it “bothered him.”
Jimmy explained on the podcast Stories With Brisco and Bradshaw, “We go out and we had a mixed response. I’ll be darned if there are 500 cheerleaders and one booer, but I won’t be that way.
“It’s a mixed reaction, but it’s a little bit more boos than anything. That devastated him.” The manager suggested the boos were due to the wrestler’s support for controversial US President Donald Trump.
Hogan previously spoke out in support of the convicted felon’s re-election to the White House. What do you think happened, Jimmy asked, “We got in the back and he said. It’s simple, red state, and blue state, as I once said, “Hulk.” Boom’.
“But that caused him to be so upset because of that,” he said. Then, you see, the next week we are in Texas, and he always gets upset about it. “It certainly did”.
He was reportedly heard telling the underappreciated crowd, “In the past, I’ve had a whole lot of partners down the line.” The Macho Man Randy Savage was one of my incredible partners. Andre the Giant and other large-sized partners have been my friends.
“But the greatest partner the WWE has ever had is the fact that tonight, we’re making history, and the WWE has tag teamed up with Netflix, the greatest tag team partner of all time.”
WWE confirmed Hogan’s death last week, saying in a statement that read ” WWE is saddened to learn Hulk Hogan has passed away.
