At the 1992 Royal Rumble fans had just about reached their wits end with Hulk Hogan’s “American hero” gimmick, and they certainly let him know it. The crowd began to boo Hogan, who at the time was the face of the WWE, something he didn’t take too kindly to. Upon his signing with the company, former WWE Champion Sid Vicious was thrust into the main event scene and had the opportunity to work with the likes of Hogan and WWE Hall Of Famer The Ultimate Warrior.
He recently did an interview with Hannibal TV and revealed that when Hogan returned backstage after being booed by the Royal Rumble crowd, he went off on Vince McMahon for it as if “The Chairman Of The Board” had planned it himself:
“He [Hogan] is putting on like a woman, screaming at Vince like Vince planned for him to get booed,” Vicious said. “I went to Vince’s office and I said, ‘Vince, I can’t work in a place where a grown man acts like this.’ I said, ‘I’m going home, I’m done.'”
