How Hulk Hogan Changed American Politics

In this emotional and fun-filled episode of the Ruthless Variety Program, hosts Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook pay tribute to the legendary Hulk Hogan following his passing.

As children of the 80s, they dive deep into Hulkamania's cultural impact, from his WWF glory days and iconic rivalries (like vs. Iron Sheik and Andre the Giant) to his RNC speech ripping his shirt for Trump.

We explore how wrestling shaped American politics, drawing parallels to Vince McMahon's Netflix doc and Trump's WWE Hall of Fame status.

Plus, hilarious stories: Spotting Hulk in the wild, wrestling video games, and childhood memories. We also cover wild topics like Hunter Biden's explosive interview roasting the Pod Bros, Dems' hypocrisy on Biden's age, concerts with Chicago and Fleetwood Mac, and epic fails from NFL helmet reveals to Savannah Bananas stunts.
