Former WWE star Hulk Hogan took the stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday, putting up a dramatic show of support for Donald Trump. Hogan showed off his ripped and tanned physique as he tore off his shirtto reveal a vest with Trump and his running mate JD Vance's names on it. Hulk Hogan looked extremely pumped while making his first appearance at a political convention.
He started off by using his famous WWE on-stage catchphrase, "Well let me tell you something, brother."
Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, added, "I didn't come here as Hulk Hogan. But I just want to give you a taste. I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real hero."
Hogan continued to remove his upper shirt as he said, "Somebody took a shot at my hero, and they tried to kill the next president of the United States."
"Enough was enough," Hogan said loudly to a roaring applause as he started to rip off his shirt.
His next words drew even louder applause as he said, "And I say, let Trumpmania run wild brother, let Trumpmania rule again, let Trumpmania make America Great Again."
Trump was all smiles as Hogan said those words and put up a show on the stage, even blowing a kiss to the former WWE star.
