At this summer's Republican National Convention, Terry Bollea - AKA Hulk Hogan, the all-American hero - ripped off his shirt to reveal a bright-red Trump 2024 tank top and, in a riff on his own catchphrase, exclaimed: "Let Trumpamania run wild, brother!"

Last week, in a sit-down interview with wrestler-turned-media-personality Tyrus, the former president warned listeners that manhood was under attack and religion was being mocked in the US.

And on Monday, Trump - who recently cancelled a slew of interviews with traditional outlets - traded compliments on an hour-long podcast hosted by Mark Calaway, better known as beloved WWE icon The Undertaker.

"You know what you've done? You've made politics fun again," Mr Calaway said.
