Hulk Hogan once endorsed Barack Obama. How did he become a big Maga mascot? | Arwa Mahdawi

Almost a decade since his lawsuit brought down the Gawker website, the former wrestler seems to have a taste for hanging around with vengeful billionaires. He might even harbour political ambitions

It was less WWE, more WTF. On Sunday night, Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, strutted on stage at Madison Square Garden to speak at a Donald Trump rally. Wearing tiny yellow sunglasses that looked as if they'd been nicked off a toddler, Hogan attempted to rip his shirt off. It took a bit of struggling, but eventually the 71-year-old wrestling legend managed it.

The high jinks continued: Hogan treated the crowd to a dance. Notably, Hogan's dance moves are just like the ones Trump has shown off at numerous rallies. A lot of arm-pumping; kinda looks like they're milking a cow. (That said, my own dancing looks like a penguin being caught in an earthquake, so I'm not judging.)
