Children Left In Tears As Hulk Hogan Leaves Meet And Greet Early

A recent meet and greet event featuring WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, promoting his Real American Beer, left many fans frustrated as the wrestling legend allegedly left early.

The event, held at a ShopRite in Montgomery, New York, saw some fans waiting up to four hours for a chance to meet Hogan. However, many were left disappointed when he reportedly departed before meeting everyone.

One attendee shared their frustration with News 12, explaining how the situation affected their child.

“I was there with my son and daughter. It was an exciting day, especially for my son. They said he could only see up to number 200 and we were 185,” one person said. “My son had a little Pokémon card with him on it and he wanted him to sign it. It was really quick. They just stood up and bolted along the back. Some lady was very upset, screaming and cursing. My son just started crying, and a bunch of other kids were crying.”

Another attendee, Taylor, who brought his seven and five-year-old children along with a large group of people, expressed disappointment over the lack of communication from Hogan.

“If he had to leave, he could’ve walked down and shook people’s hands and said ‘Hey, I’m sorry we have to get going,’ rather than just leaving people stranded.”

With many fans expecting a more engaging experience, Hogan’s early departure left some parents upset and children in tears. There has been no official response from Hogan or his team regarding the situation.
