Hulk Hogan makes major announcement

Hulk Hogan is synonymous with pro wrestling. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Hogan helped usher in a new era of the business, and has been linked to some of the biggest moments in the history of the sport. The pop culture icon has just made another major announcement for his career.

The Hulkster has had several ventures outside of the ring. He created the short-lived Pastamania restaurant in 1995, and later endorsed two appliances - The Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer and The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill. The Hogan Energy drink was around from 2006-2009, and the Wal-Mart exclusive microwaveable Hulkster Burgers lasted from 2007-2011. The Hogan Nutrition website launched in 2011, and still sells various products. Two cannabis companies are currently in operation - Hulk Hogan THC and the Immortal brand. The Hulkamania leader has been involved with other products and endorsements.

Hogan has just launched his latest business venture - Real American Beer. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer is promising to bring America back together, one beer at a time.

The promo below also includes footage of the 14-time champion handing out the new brew at Hulk Hogan's Wrestling Shop and Hogan's Hangout, both in Clearwater, Florida. There's also a shot of the wrestling legend and several Hooters Girls posing with a replica WWE Championship.

The 'Real American Summer' will kick off later today, June 13, as Hogan hosts the Florida launch of the beer at the Oculus Bar inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, from 8-9pm ET. The official Real American Beer account on Instagram noted that the beers will be coming soon to a city near you.

Hulk Hogan names WWE Superstar he'd want to face

Hulk Hogan has not wrestled a match since his TNA run in January 2012. The world of pro wrestling often speculates on an in-ring return for The Hulkster, and he has often fueled those rumors, even as recently as this year.

Hogan previously spoke with Sports Illustrated and named Randy Orton as the superstar he'd want to wrestle if he were able to return. The Immortal praised The Viper and went on about how good he is in the ring.

"If I wasn’t all beat to hell, I’d love to get in the ring with Randy. We could still tear it down in the main event. Randy could call it in the ring, and he could adjust to my style to make sure it worked perfectly. He’s just so good. He can work with veterans and the newer guys, too. He knows how to pivot both ways in the ring. He understands wrestling in a way very few do. That’s why he is making masterpieces in the ring," Hogan said at the end of 2023.

The only Hogan vs. Orton match took place at WWE SummerSlam 2006. The former nWo leader defeated the third generation wrestler in 11 minutes.
