Hulk Hogan Accused Of Leaving Meet and Greet Early, Witness Says Kids Were Crying

News 12 in Hudson Valley reports that Hulk Hogan has been accused of leaving a meet and greet early, with many fans (including kids), very upset. Several fans noted that they had waited hours at the Montgomery event, a tour stop to promote Hogan’s Real American Beer, in order to meet him.

One fan, Robert Taylor from New Windsor, said: “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. My son had a little Pokémon card with him on it and he wanted him to sign it.”

His kids, who are 7 and 5 respectively, were left “empty-handed” after Hogan suddenly left. He added: “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.”

Hogan has been touring several locations in Hudson Valley, with videos on Facebook of him with fans, posing for photos and giving beer to crowds. Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino even declared last Tuesday to be “Hulk Hogan Day” for his stop in Poughkeepsie.

The video that Taylor shared, however, shows fans booing and saying things like “You’re the worst,” and “Why did you do this?”

Taylor said he “probably” would not try to meet Hogan again if he came back. He added: “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.”
