Ups…

Titus O'Neil Hulk Hogan

Few in professional wrestling have been more cockroach-like than Hulk Hogan, an industry icon who has existed at the top of the mountain for decades. However, he also has committed several transgressions outside the ring that has sullied whatever good name he had.

Hogan emerged from a wrestling purgatory a few years ago and resumed his role as a WWE legend, to diminishing returns. For WrestleMania 37, WWE decided to trot him out as a co-host of the event alongside Titus O’Neil. But the 25,000 fans in attendance on Sunday weren’t willing to just blindly cheer the Hulkster because it was what was expected.

Fans booed Hogan every time he talked. At first, you might not have been sure, but the crowd made it clear as they cheered every utterance from Titus and then booed Hulk louder each time.

So a slow clap for the fans, who wasted no time in being snarky in the best possible way.
