As a die-hard fan who has followed the lives and careers of Hulk Hogan and Terry Crews since their wrestling days, it’s quite fascinating to see their paths intersect in such an unexpected way. It feels like a surreal blend of reality and satire, straight out of Mike Judge’s “Idiocracy.”
It appears that Hulk Hogan, formerly of Hollywood but now enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame and known for films such as “Santa with Muscles,” continues to bask in the limelight despite being seemingly discarded by Hollywood. This year at the Republican National Convention, he endorsed Donald Trump for president with a dramatic speech that echoed the style of his wrestling performances, stripping off his shirt and extolling the virtues of making America great again. However, while Hogan’s goal was to rally support for his chosen candidate, his speech drew parallels to Mike Judge’s “Idiocracy” – a movie set in a future where everyone is perceived as being unintelligent.
In a possible interpretation, the movie’s judge depicts an exaggerated form of social satire, yet a character resembles Hulk Hogan. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, portrayed by Terry Crews, was once a professional wrestler and actor in adult films, recognized for his flamboyant speeches, artistic performances, and extravagant headgear. In a similar vein, Hogan toyed with the idea of becoming president in 1998 (though it was essentially a publicity stunt). Moreover, he has a well-documented background in erotic films, although those were intended to be private. Essentially, both Camacho and Hogan share many traits.
Discussions about similarities between the RNC speech and the movie “Idiocracy” sparked conversations on social media platforms, particularly on X (previously known as Twitter), where @pigletann posted a split video of both speeches. Terry Crews also weighed in, expressing his surprise at Hogan’s speech, so let’s see what he had to say about it.

Terry Crews was taken aback when he witnessed Hulk Hogan endorsing Donald Trump during the Republican National Convention. In an interview with AP Entertainment, the actor from “Idiocracy” pointed out the resemblance in style and demeanor between Hogan and his fictional wrestler-turned-politician. However, he expressed astonishment that such a speech took place at a genuine political gathering.
“In the past, during the time when it was between Trump and Hillary, I used to receive calls from Time Magazine. They mentioned they saw many symbolic similarities with current events. At that time, I didn’t think it would reach this point, but now we’ve indeed surpassed those predictions.”
2024 isn’t just Hogan who’s drawn attention for commenting on potential presidential candidates; Jack Black found himself in hot water when his bandmate, Kyle Gass, made a controversial joke about wanting Trump assassinated at a Pennsylvania rally. The fallout led to the cancellation of their tour and calls for deportation from certain politicians. Given this context, Hogan might find comfort knowing that his political statements are being likened to offbeat comedy skits.
