As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, several WWE legends have publicly endorsed Donald Trump, highlighting the intersection of politics and professional wrestling.
Hulk Hogan’s Vocal Support
Terry Bollea, known worldwide as Hulk Hogan, has been a prominent supporter of Donald Trump. In July 2024, Hogan made a dramatic appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he tore off his signature “Hulkamania” shirt to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top underneath.
During his speech, Hogan praised Trump as a “real hero” and the “toughest of them all,” urging the audience to support Trump’s bid for the presidency.
The Undertaker and Kane’s Joint Endorsement
Mark Calaway, famously known as The Undertaker, along with Glenn Jacobs, who portrayed Kane, have also thrown their support behind Trump. In a TikTok video posted in October 2024, the duo appeared alongside Trump, drawing parallels between the election and a wrestling match.
The Undertaker stated, “The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane, and The Undertaker, or you can take Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista, and Tim Walz.”
Kane’s Political Involvement
Beyond his wrestling persona, Glenn Jacobs, known as Kane, has been actively involved in politics.
Serving as the Republican mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, since 2018, Jacobs has consistently supported Trump’s policies. His dual roles in wrestling and politics make his endorsement particularly noteworthy.
The Undertaker’s Podcast Appearance
Further solidifying his support, The Undertaker hosted Donald Trump on his podcast, “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” in October 2024. The episode featured discussions on various topics, including Trump’s previous involvement with WWE events and his current political aspirations.
