Hulk Hogan has been really opinionated about his political views for the past few months. Amid the preparations for the 2024 US elections, he touched upon various topics in his recent interviews. In fact, he even revealed his feelings during the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Speaking on the PBD Podcast, Hogan said that he took a heavy toll when Trump was shot a few months ago. He added that the former POTUS is close to him. Therefore, seeing him have a near-death experience was terrible.

This is much more than business, this is a spiritual revolution now. This guy is coming out trying to help people, he wants to help millions of people, he wants to help America have god in our country and our homes and our schools, and I said I can’t handle it.

Speaking on Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, Backlund said that Hogan was a hypocrite. He elucidated that the former WWE Champion was saying one thing on WWE TV and doing the complete opposite of it outside the business. Therefore, if he were in charge, he would have fired Hogan thirty years ago, averred the WWE legend.

Hulk didn’t meet the standards outside the ring to be able to represent the WWF. I would have fired him thirty years ago. He was saying one thing and doing another.
