Hulk Hogan just got a major reality check from UK wrestling fans—and it came in the form of straight-up boos.

On March 23, during the Sweet Chin Disco party in Nottingham, England—hosted by TNA’s Joe Hendry and WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry—everything was going smooth… until someone made the mistake of playing “Real American.” That’s right, Hulk Hogan’s iconic theme hit the speakers, but instead of hyping up the crowd, it straight-up turned them.

The fans instantly erupted with boos, drowning out the music to the point that organizers had to yank the song mid-play and replace it with something else. Yeah—they booed Hogan’s music off the damn system.

This isn’t just a UK thing either. Hogan got booed at the Raw on Netflix premiere back in January, and it looks like that heat has officially gone international.

Fans still haven’t forgotten Hogan’s 2015 scandal, when a tape dropped of him using racist language, including saying he didn’t want his daughter dating a Black man. WWE dropped him fast—but brought him back in 2018. Still, many believe Hogan never truly made things right. When he reportedly addressed the WWE locker room, insiders claimed his speech was more about not getting caught on tape than apologizing for being racist.

Let’s not forget the meet-and-greet mess in New York where he bailed early, leaving kids in tears. Or the lawsuit tied to his Real American Beer brand after someone got injured at a promotional event. Or that awkward Trump support stuff that keeps resurfacing.

Bottom line—fans aren’t buying the redemption arc. The Hulkster may think he’s still a “Real American,” but to a lot of people, that song doesn’t hit the way it used to… and now it doesn’t even finish playing.

Would you still pop for Hogan’s music if it hit? Or are fans right to boo? Drop your thoughts below—we wanna hear from you.
