-Hogan revealed that he admired Trump’s work ethic, while the 79-year-old lavished praise on the late wrestler’s flamboyance, loyalty, and “their good chemistry.”
The President stated, “Wrestling is a mimicking of life. There’s a winner and a loser. But Hulk was really at the top of the game. The Hulk was always very controversial, and that’s OK. I’m fairly controversial. I think I’ve become less controversial over the years, but I’m fairly controversial, too (via USA Today).”
Hogan had previously revealed he avoided politics to avoid isolating his fans with his political views. The late wrestler quietly voted for his friend, Trump, in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

A lot of people would say I’m completely crazy, but I know the person. I know him very well. I’m not saying I agree with everything he does, but at least he’s honest about who he is.”
Somewhere else in the docuseries, Hogan also discussed his excessive consumption of fentanyl in 2009.
