Despite being among the most recognizable and important names in pro wrestling history, Hulk Hogan has his share of haters. Previous allegations against him have eaten away at a chunk of his fanbase. Furthermore, his involvement in politics has divided his admirers.
Speaking about Hogan receiving boos after his entrance on WWE RAW, EC3 had the following to say on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted:
"I think it's the cavalcade of things all boiling up being over, and one thing you have to recognize, though, if you are gonna dabble in the hellish landscape that is the political arena, you are going to turn yourself into a patsy for the reactions you are going to get depending on who you are around and where you are at. So it's like you enter that arena, you have to expect that's gonna happen," the veteran noted. [7:35 onwards]

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
