Hulk Hogan -- Neutral in Mike Brown Case ... Despite the Hulk Name Drop

Hulk Hogan is nonplussed that Officer Darren Wilson compared him to Mike Brown ... he's staying neutral.

The Hulkster was cruising into LAX Friday when our photog asked about Wilson telling ABC News ... Mike Brown was as powerful as Hulk the day he shot and killed the teen.

It doesn't take much to read between the lines ... Hulk thinks the truth lies somewhere in the middle ... somewhere between the Brown and Wilson scenarios.
