WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has returned to the spotlight with a new campaign featuring a beer named ‘Real American’ in conjunction with Netflix’s WWE Raw content. The promotional material, which references Hogan’s iconic entrance theme ‘Real American,’ has brought mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. In a recent interview, Hogan stated, “I’ve poured my heart and soul into this project; it embodies the spirit of wrestling and celebration.” The beer launch is timed with the ongoing WWE Raw series on Netflix, aiming to capture both wrestling fans and craft beer enthusiasts. However, the campaign has raised eyebrows due to Hogan’s controversial history, including allegations of racism. Critics have pointed out that while the beer is marketed as a tribute to Hogan’s legacy, it simultaneously opens discussions about accountability and legacy in today’s social climate. The beer is set to launch next month amid expectations of a strong reception among fans. Social media reactions to the announcement have been varied, with some celebrating the nostalgic connection, while others criticize the decision given Hogan’s past. Wrestling analyst John Smith noted, “This beer could be a double-edged sword for WWE, resonating with loyal fans but also diving into contentious territory. The brand must navigate this carefully.” As the date of the beer launch approaches, all eyes will be on Hogan and WWE to see how they handle the accompanying discourse.
