According to the Medina Township police report, some witnesses believe the Hulk was responsible for launching the beer can into the audience.
Other witnesses claim the can was lobbed by a crew member who was seen catapulting cans off the stage.
Speaking to News 5, the witness recalled the person was “throwing beers from the stage like a baseball pitch”.

Due to “conflicting accounts”, no arrests were made.
The Hulk launched his beers in June this year, and was on a 17-stop tour to distribute the “easy-drinking light lager” when the woman got knocked out.
According to a press release issued in June, Hulk Hogan was “excited to introduce Real American Beer to fans and beer lovers everywhere,” but perhaps didn’t intend on making the introduction so forcefully.
