Hulk Hogan made a speech supporting WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump at the RNC Convention.
Hulk Hogan made his entrance onto the stage, proudly waving the American Flag as his iconic “Real American” theme resonated throughout the convention hall.
Hogan came onstage carrying an American flag and dressed in an American flag t-shirt dressed up with a blue blazer.
But that professional look didn’t last long, as the wrestler shredded his top layer and flexed his muscles, marching alongside the podium.
‘You know Trumpites, I didn’t come here as Hulk Hogan but I had to give you a little taste,’ he teased.
He then introduced himself to the audience as Terry Bollea and as a person who has known Trump for some 35 years.
The Republican nominee had walked back into the Fiserv Forum for the second time Thursday night, this time accompanied by most members of his family, including daughter Ivanka Trump, who was making her Milwaukee debut.

He Ripped Off His Shirt To Reveal A Trump/Vance Shirt
He hailed Donald Trump and J.D Vance as the most formidable duo ever, drawing parallels to his partnership with “Macho Man” Randy Savage in the Mega Powers.
Bringing up the recent attempt on Trump’s life, he dramatically tore off his shirt to reveal a Trump/Vance t-shirt, prompting a thunderous reaction from the audience.
Asserting that the assassination plot was a step too far, he passionately proclaimed the resurgence of “Trumpamania” and its mission to restore greatness to America under Trump’s leadership.
Hogan said he typically tries to stay out of politics but felt compelled to speak at the RNC after the attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania over the weekend.
‘Well, you know, Bret, I got tired of remaining silent,’ Hogan said. ‘You know, I sat back and watched the borders collapse. I watched the economy collapse. You know, I watched the price of gas, the price of food, everything just do an upside-down flip.’
‘And when they took a shot at my hero Donald Trump, I realized that I couldn’t be silent anymore,’ Hogan said.
Hogan posted a message to his Facebook page Saturday, which included the now iconic shot of Trump, blood spattered on his face, with his fist up.
‘It rattled me to my core when this happened,’ Hogan said. ‘And when I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and the blood on his face as a warrior, as a leader, I realized that’s what America needs.’
Hulk Hogan Wants All The “Trumpamaniacs” To Run Wild
Hulk Hogan spoke, once again, about body slamming giants, but proclaimed Donald Trump as the toughest of them all. He warned the criminals and scumbags that Donald Trump, along with his “Trumpamaniacs” will run wild on them, referencing his famous catchphrase.
This was despite referring to Trump’s fans as “Trumpites” throughout the speech.
“Over my career, I’ve been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet, and I’ve squared off against warriors, ooh yeah, savages. And I’ve even, like I said, body-slammed giants in the middle of the ring. And I know tough guys, but let me tell you something, brother, Donald Trump is the toughest of them all. All you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags… Whatcha gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?!”
