“Want me to body slam Kamala Harris?” Hogan asked, eliciting a roaring response from the crowd. Not one to stop there, he followed up with another question: “Want me to drop the leg on Kamala?” The cheers grew even louder.
For those unfamiliar with Hogan’s wrestling history, the “leg drop” was his signature move—a finisher that helped him secure countless victories in the ring. While Hogan’s comments were clearly made in jest, drawing on his wrestling past for some lighthearted entertainment, the energy in the room was unmistakable. It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated Hogan’s flair for the dramatic and his unwavering support for Trump.
Hogan himself acknowledged the playful nature of his comments, attributing them to the atmosphere and perhaps the influence of a few drinks. But beyond the jokes, there was a serious undertone. The enthusiastic reception to Hogan’s remarks highlighted a broader sentiment among Trump supporters—one of defiance and passion in the face of what they see as a critical election.
This isn’t the first time Hogan has made headlines for his support of Trump. His appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention was a viral sensation, where he delivered a passionate defense of Trump. Reflecting on a famous photo of Trump with his fist in the air and blood on his face after an attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, Hogan remarked, “When I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and the blood on his face—as a warrior, as a leader—I realized that’s what America needs.”
Hogan’s support for Trump is part of a broader trend within the WWE community. Trump has a long history with WWE, having been inducted into its Hall of Fame and maintaining close ties with several of its biggest stars. Former WWE U.S. Champion Logan Paul, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and even WWE’s former head, Vince McMahon, have all shown support for Trump in various ways.
The convergence of professional wrestling and politics may seem unusual, but for Trump, who has always thrived on spectacle and showmanship, it’s a natural alliance. And for Hogan, whose career was built on electrifying crowds and delivering memorable lines, throwing his weight behind Trump is just another chapter in his storied life.

As the nation gears up for the November election, figures like Hogan will undoubtedly continue to play a role in rallying Trump’s base. Whether through humor, nostalgia, or raw energy, these moments are a reminder of the unique coalition Trump has built—a coalition that, much like professional wrestling, thrives on larger-than-life personalities and unforgettable moments.
