One notable example is fellow WWE Hall of Famer Terry Bollea, more famously known as Hulk Hogan. Many are already familiar with Hogan&#8217;s entertaining speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent exclusive report from TMZ, it seems Hogan was eager to relive the excitement of a politically charged wrestling promo. In footage obtained by the outlet, Hogan was in Ohio promoting his new beer when he made headlines on the same night that President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention. While addressing an enthusiastic crowd at Thirsty Cowboy, Hogan tapped into his wrestling persona and posed some provocative questions to his audience. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?\u201d he asked, eliciting cheers from those present. He followed up with another question: \u201cWant me to drop the leg on Kamala?\u201d which received an even louder response. (Hogan\u2019s signature move in wrestling was indeed a leg drop.) It was evident that both Hogan and his audience were joking\u2014he later attributed their enthusiasm to alcohol\u2014and reminiscing about his past glories in wrestling against figures like Andre the Giant.<\/p>\n<p>The lively atmosphere stood out especially since Harris has been portrayed as a candidate associated with positive energy leading up to November&#8217;s general election. For those who missed Hogan\u2019s viral moment at the RNC, it offered a more substantial defense of Trump than merely jesting about &#8220;dropping the leg&#8221; on Harris while still showcasing some of his characteristic flair.<\/p>\n<p>In July, reflecting on Trump&#8217;s resilience after an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Hogan remarked how seeing Trump bloodied yet defiant reminded him of what America needs: \u201cWhen I saw him stand up with that fist in the air&#8230; I realized that&#8217;s what America needs.\u201d Notably, he&#8217;s not alone among WWE personalities supporting Trump; others like Logan Paul and Vince McMahon have also shown varying degrees of backing for him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2330739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Hulk-Hogan.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7958,36811,35466,32438,39243],"class_list":["post-2330738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-comedy","tag-crowd-reaction","tag-hulk-hogan","tag-kamala-harris","tag-wrestling-jokes"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Hulk-Hogan.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2330738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2330739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2330738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2330738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2330738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
