WATCH: Hulk Hogan Rips Off Shirt, Endorses President Trump — “TRUMP-A-MANIA”

This has to be one of the best moments from the RNC so far…

Pro-wrestling icon Hulk Hogan took the stage and called President Trump his “hero” before ripping off his shirt WWE-style and boldly endorsing Trump.

He told everyone that it was the moment Trump was nearly assassinated that convinced him to voice his support, “I tried to stay out of politics, but after everything that’s happened to our country over the past four years and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent.”

“What happened last week when they took a shot at my hero and they tried to kill the next President of the United States?” Hogan asked, “Enough was enough. Run wild brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again!”

“Over my career, I’ve been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet,” Hogan added, “Donald Trump is the toughest of them all. They’ve thrown everything at Donald Trump, all the investigations, the impeachments, the court cases, and he’s still standing and kicking their butts.”

Fox News said:

Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and his 24-inch pythons were welcomed to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday with rousing applause.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was one of the first speakers of the night as the audience waited patiently for former President Donald Trump to come out and accept the nomination for president for the third consecutive time.

The six-time WWE champion brought a little Hulkamania with him.

Hogan said he was upset when they “took a shot at my hero.” He then proceeded to remove his vest and rip the Hogan “Real American” shirt he was wearing to reveal a Trump-Vance 2024 shirt – in classic pro wrestling fashion.

“Enough was enough and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again,” he screamed while flexing his pythons.

Hogan called Trump and Vance a great tag-team, akin to him and the late Randy Savage back in his pro wrestling days.

“I’ve seen some great tag teams in my time – Hulk Hogan and oooh, yeah, the ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. But you know something? I see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us and getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans,” Hogan added.

Hogan predicted “America is going to get back on track” with Trump as president and the so-called “Trump-ites” behind him for the next four years.

Time added:

Hulk Hogan, the iconic entertainer who electrified wrestling arenas in the 1980s and ’90s, stepped into a new arena Thursday night: the political stage at the Republican National Convention.

Hogan spoke at the RNC on Thursday night, shortly before Donald Trump was set to accept the party’s nomination, and delivered one of the most energetic speeches of the convention, calling Trump his “hero” and a “gladiator” before tearing off his shirt. Much like his wrestling matches of the past, his speech drew an enthusiastic response from the convention crowd.

Hogan’s speech came less than a week after a shooter tried to assassinate Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. “What happened last week when they took a shot at my hero and they tried to kill the next President of the United States?” Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, said. “Enough was enough. Run wild brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again.”

Hogan then ripped off his shirt, echoing his famous wrestling entrance, revealing a Trump-Vance shirt underneath. He said that the assassination attempt on Trump was the moment he decided he wanted to make his voice heard: “I tried to stay out of politics, but after everything that’s happened to our country over the past four years and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent,” he said.
