“This Character Really Crossed All the Lines” – Hulk Hogan Dissects One of His WWE Gimmicks Who Had an Epic Match With Dwayne Johnson in 2002

Hulk Hogan was a part of so many epic eras in WWE. But his iconic nWo era where he turned ‘heel’ is definitely the one to remember.

Every time he reminisces of his nWo era, The Rock surely comes to his mind. During his ‘heel’ era, The Hulkster fought Dwayne Johnson in one of the most exceptional matches in the history of WWE.

In one of his recent interviews, Hogan revisits his past and tells his fans about his experience fighting against The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment and how unexpected the fans’ reactions were at the time.

WWE fans’ reaction shocked Hulk Hogan

On February 18, 2002, in an episode of RAW, the WWE Universe saw an action-packed fight that involved Sterling Golden and The Rock. Mr. America was a heel and The Brahma Bull was one of the top fan favorites back then.

Thunder Lips said that it was a very shocking moment for him as he thought that being a heel, the crowd would boo him, but they booed the rock instead. Instead of cheering for their favorite superstar, fans were cheering for Hulkamania and wanted him to win.

“When I came out, they would be cheering me you know, and whenever the rock was like punching me in the beginning of the match, and they were booing him, I was going, Oh my gosh! This character really crossed all the lines in the WWE.”

The WWE Hall of Famer had not expected this reaction from the WWE fans at all. “I mean, I did everything I could to get the heat, and they still cheered me,” Hogan added.

Hogan’s cow boots moment

In the ringside collectible video, The Immortal also mentioned a particular moment that haunted him for over 20 years. And this moment also happened during his nWo era.

The American retired professional wrestler was to make his debut in the New World Order. He was supposed to wear normal wrestling boots but came out to the ring in his cowboy boots.

Hogan said in his interview, “That has haunted me for over 20 years that I’m going down to the ring, I’m supposed to wrestle, but I was so dumb I didn’t even change my boots.”

What happened was, he made a rookie mistake and forgot to change his boots before making his entrance. But luckily, it did not become a big deal, as The Hulkster thought it would have.
