Famed wrestler rips his shirt off, to unveil 'Trump Vance' tank top at RNC
Famed US professional wrestling star Hulk Hogan gave a spirited endorsement of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Channeling his iconic wrestling persona, Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, likened Trump to his hero and declared their alliance for the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign alongside running mate JD Vance.
In a rousing speech, Hogan energized the crowd, calling for 'Trump-a-mania' to rejuvenate America. He drew parallels between their partnership and legendary wrestling tag teams, evoking memories of his dynamic duo with the late Randy Savage. Hogan, 70, emphasized Trump's leadership and rallied his supporters, whom he referred to as 'Trump-ites,' to unite for the nation's future.
As he concluded his address, Hogan posed a rhetorical challenge to their political adversaries: 'What will you do when Donald Trump and all the Trump-a-maniacs unleash their energy, brother?' His endorsement ceremony included his iconic shirt-ripping move, unveiling a shirt bearing Trump and Vance's names, reminiscent of his wrestling theatrics.
