Hulk Hogan Electrifies RNC with Trump Endorsement

Retired wrestler Hulk Hogan revived his WWE persona at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, passionately endorsing former President Donald Trump. He performed his iconic T-shirt rip, exciting the crowd with chants of 'USA!' and declared Trump his hero, promising to 'bring America back together.'

Retired professional wrestler Hulk Hogan brought back his World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) persona on stage Friday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to support former President Donald Trump. Before Trump accepted the Republican nomination, the WWE Hall of Famer, dressed in a navy blue suit, sunglasses, and a red bandana, took to the stage to endorse him.

Hogan, sporting his trademark blond handlebar mustache, delivered a highly energetic speech. He removed his jacket to reveal a sleeveless black shirt emblazoned with 'real American.' He then performed his iconic T-shirt rip.

Beneath the black shirt, he showcased a Trump/Vance Red Hulk Hogan T-shirt, declaring he'd seen 'the greatest tag team of my life.' Pointing to Trump in the audience, Hogan exclaimed, 'With our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator, we are gonna bring America back together. One real American at a time, brother!'

The crowd roared 'USA, USA' at Hogan's antics. Hogan, whose real name is Terry G. Bollea, called Trump his 'hero' and added, 'But what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero and tried to kill the president of the United States, enough was enough,' Hogan said.

'Let Trump-O-Mania rule again; let Trump-O-Mania make America great again,' he roared to cheers from the crowd. Trump attended the convention after a shooter attempted to assassinate him at a Milwaukee rally last week.

After ducking to the ground as a bullet grazed his ear, Trump rose and raised his fist, shouting 'fight! fight! fight!' before U.S. Secret Service personnel formed a protective ring around him and escorted him away safely. Earlier this week, Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate for the November 5 presidential election.
