Throughout his speech, Hogan gave his all in support of former President Trump, using his characteristic energy to express his strong support.
“I look over there and I see Donald Trump and I think about how his business was put at risk. But what happened last week when they attacked my hero?” Hogan asked the crowd as he took off his blazer.
“And they tried to kill the next president of the United States,” he continued, electrifying the crowd with every word.
“Enough!” he cried, tearing his shirt open.

Hogan then shed his persona for a more authentic moment.
“I'm not here as Hulk Hogan, but I wanted to give you a little taste. You know my name is Terry Bollea,” he said. “As an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics, but after what's happened in this country over the last four years and what happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent. I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a true American hero, and I'm proud to endorse my hero as the next president of this United States.”
