I don't think there was a lot of Hogan hate back in the day. Back then, wrestling was new and fresh to the mainstream and people, with no history to fall back on, were in it for what it was. A suspension of reality. As a character, Hulk Hogan was great and thus, that's what people judged him on. His iconic stature.

Now, with so much history to judge things on and the fact that wrestling is looked at not as a suspension of reality but as a simple form of entertainment, it's way more okay to boo people regardless of their character being "good" or "bad". People look at the business side of things, which never happened back then.
