Just when you thought Hulk Hogan had done it all—getting baptized, throwing out spicy takes, and threatening one more match despite approaching his 70s—he’s back in the spotlight for something even his millions of Hulkamaniacs couldn’t have seen coming. Brace yourselves, brothers, because the Hulkster is about to enter the political ring!
In a shocker that could rival a surprise Royal Rumble entrant, MSNBC tweeted early Thursday morning that two senior campaign officials of former Presidential candidate Donald Trump confirmed Hogan would be speaking today at the final day of the Republican National Convention. Not just speaking, but in a prime slot, right before Trump himself takes the stage to accept the Republican nomination. Talk about a main event!
But wait, there’s more! This star-studded event will also feature other WWE-connected personalities. John Pollock of POST Wrestling tweeted that Linda McMahon, former WWE President and spouse of the ever-controversial Vince McMahon, and Dana White, UFC’s big boss and part of the TKO Holdings family with WWE, are also slated to speak. It’s practically a WrestleMania of political conventions!
This isn’t Hulk Hogan’s first foray into politics. He endorsed Trump back in 2016, even humorously suggesting he could be Trump’s running mate. And let’s not forget his 1998 WCW days when he announced a run for President—spoiler alert, it was just a publicity stunt. But hey, the Hulkster knows how to keep us on our toes.
Will Hogan’s latest move electrify the crowd or cause a political pile driver? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a wild ride, brother!
