Hulk Hogan showed up in a big way for Donald Trump during the 2024 Presidential campaign.
In the process, the former World Champion is experiencing a bit of a career resurgence.
And now, the Hulkster just got a new tag team partner that Donald Trump will love.
“I am a real American, fight for the rights of every man”
“As an entertainer, I try 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.”
Those were the words of the Immortal Hulk Hogan at last year’s Republican National Convention – just days after the first assassination attempt against the life of Donald Trump.
But even before his convention speech, the Hulkster began to take a political stand.
And while Donald Trump is a well-known tee-totaler, Blue-color Americans were looking for a new brand of beer following Bud Light getting into bed with the world’s most famous transgender, Dylan Mulvaney.
And the real-life Terry Bollea was on the spot with an answer for drinkers.
Hogan launched Real American beer in June of last year.
“I see this open lane right now,” Hogan said at the time. “This open lane is saying, ‘We’re American and America’s been waiting for this beer.’”
Real American was the name of the 12-time World Champion’s entrance song during the heights of his time with the then-World Wrestling Federation.
The brand is currently available for purchase in 20 states.
And now Hogan is returning to his roots to help grow his hops and barley brew.
“I stand strong about right and wrong, And I don’t take trouble for very long”
Bounding into Sports is reporting that Hogan and the WWE have agreed to a new partnership surrounding Real American Beer.
As part of the deal, Real American Beer will be branded on the wrestling mat by the four ring corners for every episode of Monday Night Raw on its new home, Netflix.
In return, WWE is receiving minority ownership in the company.

“Well, let me tell you something, brother,” Hogan started during a promo on the Netflix debut episode of Raw. “From the first time I stepped into the ring, I’ve always fought for something bigger than myself. I’m thrilled to bring Real American Beer into the ring with WWE. Together, we’re bringing that pride to America, one beer, one match at a time, brother!”
The crowd wasn’t receptive to the message, booing the original leader of the NWO.
However, that could be because the show emanated from the Los Angeles, California area.
Many of those fans could still look at Hogan as a heel for his efforts to help make the 45th President of the United States the 47th President of the United States.
“If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride, I gotta lend a hand, it don’t help to hide”
For his part, the President-elect likely is nodding with approval over this new partnership.
The relationship between Trump, Hogan, and the WWE goes all the way back to the 1980s.
Both WrestleMania four and five were held at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City – and Hogan was involved in the main event of both cards.
Trump later went on to participate in a storyline where he temporarily bought the company from Vince McMahon.
The angle led to Trump shaving McMahon bald at WrestleMania 23.
Fast forward and Vince’s wife, Linda McMahon was appointed to lead Trump’s Small Business Administration.
Mrs. McMahon is also co-chair of the President-elect’s transition team – and has been nominated to be the next Secretary of Education.
If she’s confirmed, perhaps she’ll celebrate with a cold can of Real American Beer.
