‘Crowd Erupts As Hulk Hogan ‘Hulks Up’ On Stage During Epic RNC Speech

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan received a hero’s welcome at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.

After taking the stage following a montage complete with his signature intro song, “Real American,” the crowd erupted into loud cheers and chants of “USA!”

Hogan then channeled his signature wrestling voice and dished out his iconic quote, beginning his speech with, “LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BROTHER!”

“Well, let me tell you something, when I came here tonight, there was so much energy in this room, I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title. Or maybe I thought the vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was going to press that no-good, stinky giant over my head and slam him through the mat, brother,” Hogan told the crowd.

“But what I found out was I was in a room full of real Americans, brother. And at the end of the day, with our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator, we’re going to bring America back together, one real American at a time, to bring America back together, one real American at a time,” the wrestling icon continued while pointing to former President Trump.

He went on to reference the assassination attempt on the former president. “But what happened last week, when they took a shot at my hero and they tried to kill the next president of the United States, enough was enough, and I said let Trumpomania, make America great again!”

The wrestling icon then proceeded to rip off both his jacket and shirt to reveal a red “Trump-Vance 2024” undershirt.

In an interview with Fox News earlier in the day, Hogan explained why he decided to speak at the convention. “I got tired of remaining silent. You know, I just sat back and watch the borders collapse. I watch the economy collapse you know, I watch the price of gas the price of food everything just do a upside down flip,” Hogan told host Bret Baier. “And when they took a shot at my hero Donald Trump, I realized that I couldn’t be silent anymore.”

“It rattled me to my core when this happened. And when I saw him stand up, with the blood on his face as a warrior, as a leader, I realized that’s what America needs.”
