Hulk Hogan was one of the biggest babyfaces in WWE history, captivating the WWE Universe with his immense popularity. Fans overwhelmingly supported him throughout his prime. However, Stephanie McMahon recently revealed that she never cheered for The Hulkster while growing up. Instead, she gravitated towards heels and villains in professional wrestling.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, McMahon revealed that she always wanted to play a heel on WWE TV. She shared that she preferred getting booed over being cheered, as she never felt the need to follow the crowd. Instead of rooting for Hogan, she found herself drawn to the villains and heels who, in her view, made the show even more entertaining.
