Hulkamania goes on perpetually, be it inside or outside the ring. After spending decades in the professional wrestling realm, the Hall of Famer signed off from Vince McMahon’s promotion but, quite non-surprisingly, continues to turn the tides in the world in many other aspects of life. To talk about the latest rumor card that swirls over the 70-year-old is a potential allegiance to politics. That said, the idea didn’t brew out of nothing.
Legendary US wrestler Hulk Hogan has displayed an admiration for ex-US President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday. Pro wrestling fans can rejoice as he gave a rousing speech with his pro-wrestling themes intertwined in his support for Trump.

The six-time WWE Champion has always been very loud with a mic in his hand. When he used to step up in the ring in front of thousands of insane crowds, very few can deny the solid adrenaline rush they experienced while they heard him speak. The same WWE aura prevailed in the Fiserv Forum last night when the Hulkster arrived in a navy blue formal.
As “U.S.A.” chants rained down the arena, Hogan started the Triumph eulogy, noting that the popular US political mogul is his hero and touted their alliance for the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign alongside running mate JD Vance. He likened the political duo to him and his former tag teammate, the late Randy Savage.
The wrestler-entertainer noted that despite being away from active politics, most of the time, the present declining situation in the country propelled him to break the silence and vouch for what is right. Addressing the maddening crowd, Hogan exclaimed with sheer enthusiasm in his voice, ”Let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again!”

What’s your perspective on:
Would you vote for Hulk Hogan if he ran for office? Why or why not?
Have an interesting take?
The veteran also ripped off his suit to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top to showcase his desire for a second presidential run for the 78-year-old. So no, Hulk Hogan isn’t running for office but he could play a part in Trump’s presidential campaign as we head to November. This was not always the case for the WWE legend as he once chastised politics for its fickle nature.
Hogan had remarked he hated politics
Hulk Hogan could have a decisive impact on politics if he enters the field one day. Thanks to his unbridled popularity and the macho-man larger-than-life image among the global households. Also, Donald Triumph’s significant history with WWE marked a mutual ground for him to connect. But despite all the facts, Hogan, a few years back, showed enough reluctance toward joining world politics.
