Pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan spoke at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night hours before former President Donald Trump was set to accept the nomination.
Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and his 24-inch pythons were welcomed to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday with rousing applause. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was one of the first speakers of the night as the audience waited patiently for former President Donald Trump to come out and accept the nomination for president for the third consecutive time.
The six-time WWE champion brought a little Hulkamania with him. Hogan said he was upset when they 'took a shot at my hero.' He then proceeded to remove his vest and rip the Hogan 'Real American' shirt he was wearing to reveal a Trump-Vance 2024 shirt – in classic pro wrestling fashion. 'Enough was enough and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again,' he screamed while flexing his pythons.
America is gonna be great again.' Hogan told TMZ in 2015 he would want to be Trump’s running mate. Trump eventually chose Mike Pence and the two defeated Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Trump and Pence lost in 2020 to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This time around, Trump chose Ohio Sen. JD Vance to be his running mate. He said Thursday he was 'proud' to support his hero as the next president. He finished his speech with a question to politicians in the U.S.
Since his retirement from pro wrestling, Hogan has been seen sparingly on WWE TV. He owns Hogan’s Hangout in Clearwater, Florida, which holds karaoke nights on Mondays. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
