DONALD Trump smiled proudly in a throwback picture with Hulk Hogan as the wrestler is expected to show his support for the former president at the Republican National Convention.
Hogan – real name Terry Gene Bollea – is expected to appear as a speaker on Thursday, day four of the RNC, along with Linda McMahon, wife of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

The Hulkster’s support for his fellow WWE Hall of Famer goes back to Trump’s first bid for the White House in 2015 after admitting to TMZ that he wanted to be his running mate.
“I don’t want to be in the ring with any candidates. I want to be Trump’s running mate,” Hogan, 70, said when asked which candidate he’d want to fight.
“Did you hear that? Vice President Hogan,” he added.
Hogan recently expressed his support for Trump, 78, following the attempted assassination at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday that left the former president bloodied.
“Today’s events in Butler, Pennsylvania are deeply disturbing,” Hogan wrote on Instagram.
“No President, past or present, should face such a horrific act.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with President Trump, law enforcement, and the Secret Service who bravely protect and uphold our shared values.”
