Detroit Lions training camp witnessed greatness on Thursday when Hulkamania dropped to encourage the entourage. Wearing a blue bandana, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan gave a solid pep talk and even backed Dan Campbell’s team to win the Super Bowl.
While the camp was just getting started and the players began to arrive, fans waiting to greet their icons at the entrance noticed a car that they weren’t familiar with. After the car stopped out came the legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan and 2x Olympic gold medalist and three-time undisputed boxing champion Claressa Shields.
Several clips of the ‘Hulkster’ visit went viral, leaving social media divided. While one side praised the 70-year-old for dropping by to deliver a pep talk, the other side shrugged their shoulders, predicting the downfall of the Lions.

Social media reactions to Hulk Hogan meeting Dan Campbell at Detroit Lions training camp
The section that wasn’t too happy with Hogan at Lions Camp shared one common trait among them—most of them were anti-Donald Trump. Their anger stemmed from the fact that Hogan spoke in favor of the Republican leader at the Republican National Convention or RNC.

In classic Hogan fashion, he ripped off his t-shirt and endorsed Donald Trump.

The announcement even put a sour taste on some of the loyal ‘Hulkamaniacs.’ Perhaps that’s the reason they viewed Hulk Hogan’s visit to the Lions camp as a bad omen for the Detroit franchise.

I don't think any real Lions fans are mad a HOF wrestler is hanging out with the team. The players definitely aren't mad.

Hogan was at the camp to film a promo for a beer company.
Don’t worry Lions fans. Hulk Hogan is only here to promote his beer. He’s not working for the Lions or anything like that.

BTW, The Rock’s tequila is really good and I recommend it over this.
Hulk Hogan has faith in Dan Campbell to lead the Detroit Lions to the Super Bowl
While netizens bickered on social media, Hogan chatted away with Campbell and held a pep talk session with the players. The 12-time World Champion announced that Campbell had done a great job by winning the NFC North after such a long time and backed the team to reach the Super Bowl.
I predict greatness for this team.Hulk Hogan said per FOX News
He even considered himself the new mascot of the Lions and wished Campbell could be his tag team partner.

He is [Dan Campbell] got the it factor all right. I just wish he would have been my tag-team partner.Hogan said said
Whether Hogan being at Lions camp turns out to be a course because he spoke highly of Trump is farfetched. Regardless, the Lions have a big task in hand to better their last season’s heroics. They will kick off the 2024 campaign by welcoming the Los Angeles Rams on September 8.
