Riffing on Hogan’s catchphrase, one said: “This definitely doesn’t work for me, brother.”
A second person wrote: “I knew he wasn’t the same when there was no pep in his step.”
While a third posted: “Sick to my stomach that this man was my hero as a small child.”
Others backed Hogan saying it was great to see him back on stage and hear the Real American theme tune.
One said: “Still a real American he just can’t rip the vest anymore.”
Another posted: “Hulk Hogan was awesome.”
While a third wrote: “At least he gave them a performance. Can’t say same for Beyonce at the other side.”
The wrestler has been a longtime supporter of Trump, telling TMZ in 2015 that he wanted to be his running mate.
When asked which presidential candidate he would fight, Hogan responded, “I don’t want to be in the ring with any candidates. I want to be Trump’s running mate.”
Following the assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, Hogan shared a photo from the rally and expressed his political beliefs in a caption on Instagram.
“No President, past or present, should face such a horrific act,” he wrote.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with President Trump, law enforcement and the Secret Service who bravely protect and uphold our shared values.”
Trump and Hogan
Trump has had a long history with WWE and was a close friend of Vince McMahon.
During his speech, the former president praised Hogan, asking the crowd, “How about the Hulkster, how good was he?”
Trump first started appearing in WWE broadcasts in the 1980s but became a part of the show’s plot in the late 2000s.
He and McMahon acted out a feud on WWE’s Monday Night Raw that climaxed at WrestleMania 23 when Trump shaved McMahon’s hair.
Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
His paths crossed multiple times with Hogan, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005.
