Published

Hulk Hogan was among the celebrities inexplicably left out of the Emmys "In Memoriam" broadcast segment Sunday night ... and his ex-wife suspects it wasn't a simple error.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … she believes Hulk’s snub was political, due to his right-wing embrace and support later in life -- including speaking at the RNC for President Trump last year -- despite the fact the wrestling superstar supported both sides of the aisle.

Hulk was among a few notable names not honored on the CBS show ... others included horror icon Tony Todd and "Sopranos" star Jerry Adler. An Emmys rep pointed out all of them, including Hulk, are included in a longer online version of the segment ... but it's just a scroll of names with zero production value, unlike the broadcast segment.
