Hulk Hogan made a dramatic appearance on the final day of the Republican National Convention, thrilling the crowd by ripping off his blazer and shirt to reveal a Trump-Vance t-shirt underneath. The WWE legend, whose real name is Terry Bollea, brought his signature energy to the stage, likening the atmosphere to Madison Square Garden.
Hogan’s Electrifying Entrance
“When I came here tonight, there was so much energy in this room,” Hogan exclaimed. “I thought maybe I was in Madison Square Garden, getting ready to win another World Title.” The crowd erupted as Hogan embraced his Hulkamania persona, declaring, “Let Trumpamania run wild, brother!”
Praise for Trump and Criticism of Biden
Hogan took the opportunity to praise former President Donald Trump, calling him “a real American hero” and criticized President Joe Biden. “We lost a strong economy and a safe border in the blink of an eye,” Hogan said, emphasizing his support for Trump’s policies. He highlighted Trump’s resilience despite the challenges he has faced, including impeachments, court battles, and a recent assassination attempt.
Long History with Trump
Hogan’s relationship with Trump dates back to WrestleMania IV and V, events sponsored by Trump. This longstanding connection was part of what compelled Hogan to break his usual stance of staying out of politics. “As an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics,” he admitted. “But after everything that has happened to our country over the past four years, and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent.”
The Impact of Recent Events
Hogan’s decision to speak at the RNC was heavily influenced by the recent shooting at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. He expressed his determination to support Trump and Vance, underscoring the significance of the moment for him personally and politically.
