RNC 2024, Day 4 Updates: Hulk Hogan enrages the crowd, rips his shirt off

Hulk Hogan calls Trump “my hero” at RNC

The retired professional wrestler gave a speech on the final day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Hulk Hogan, wearing a bandana and sunglasses and a sports jacket over his tank top, fired up the crowd with chants of “USA” and called Trump “my hero” and a “gladiator.”

In the middle of his speech, he lost his jacket and ripped off his tank top, revealing a T-shirt with the words Trump-Vance on it. In an impassioned tone, he said: “I think about how his family was compromised, how his business was compromised. But what happened last week, when they shot my hero – and tried to kill the President of the United States – that was enough.”

“Let Trump-O-Mania rule again, let Trump-O-Mania make America great again,” he shouted, referring to his career as a WWE entertainer.

Hogan put aside the teleprompter and indulged his penchant for theatrics, earning a “thank you” from Trump and getting the crowd going about 20 minutes before the former president took the stage to accept his nomination.
