10 Things WWE Needs To Learn From WrestleMania 37

10. People Don't Want To See Hulk Hogan

There's no doubting Hulk Hogan's status as one of - some way say the - biggest names in the history of professional wrestling.

At one point, the World Wrestling Federation was hitched to the back of Hogan, as he carried the company to unprecedented levels of success when the Rock 'n' Wrestling days were ushered in. Few people have ever had the run that Hulk Hogan had, and that's not even including his move to WCW and subsequent nWo shenanigans.

For his wrestling career, Hogan is the very definition of a Hall of Famer - be that main events, big PPVs, longevity, merchandise sales or buyrates and gate receipts.

The thing is, of course, Hulk Hogan completely tarnished his reputation after racist remarks of his made their way online in 2015.

It's easy to forget that WWE actually removed Hogan from their Hall of Fame once those horrendous comments were made public. But here we are in 2021, with Hulk not only reinstated in the HOF, but now an actual two-time Hall of Famer.

While WWE is clearly fine with Hulk Hogan being back in the fold, wrestling fans are not - as evidenced by the Hulkster being heavily booed on both days of WrestleMania 37 by his own hometown crowd.

Hopefully WWE saw the 'Mania reaction to Hogan and learn from it; although the chances of that happening seem slim.
