Titus O’Neil Didn’t Expect Hulk Hogan To Be Booed ‘At That Level’ At WrestleMania 37
Titus O’Neil and Hulk Hogan hosted WrestleMania 37 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. The duo was chosen due to Titus’ ties to the Tampa community and Hogan being from the area while also being a legend in the WWE universe.
Hogan’s stock has fallen in the eyes of many fans over the years due to racist comments uncovered in 2015. When Hogan came out to greet the live crowd in Tampa, he was met with boos from the crowd, which was rare for a Hogan appearance.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry noted Titus’ reaction during the boos, saying he couldn’t hide how he was feeling as Hogan was booed.
Titus replied, “It really caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect, I expected some boos, but I didn’t expect it to be at that level. To Hulk’s credit, he took it in stride and kept going. It was definitely different.”
Hogan was booed during both nights of WrestleMania 37 when he appeared on stage in front of the live crowd alongside Titus.
