A Truth Social post from Donald Trump over a close up of a can of A Real American Beer. The post reads “Hulk Hogan is doing a beer, and if he’s doing it, it must be good. Great looking can and logo….”. The can features an illustration of Hulk Hogan with a star-spangled headband, waving a large american flag.

WWE wrestler and 80s icon Hulk Hogan died in late July, and for weeks the wrestling industry, internet personalities and other commentators came close to making the crocodile extinct for their want of fake tears.

I couldn’t help but chuckle when the above tribute video narrated by wrestler turned World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque came to this part: “Somehow, Hogan’s charisma and connection to the audience always remained.”

They clearly left out the Hulkster’s humiliating final appearance on WWE’s flagship show “Raw” on January 6, 2025, its first airing on Netflix.
