LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Hundreds of "Hulkamaniacs" took over a Liberty Township Kroger Thursday afternoon to meet their favorite pro wrestler.
WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan went to the store on Yankee Road to promote Ohio's launch of "Real American Beer," a brand he co-founded.
The drink, which shares a name with Hogan's wrestling theme song, is an American-style light lager described as "light-bodied, fresh and crisp." The company says its beer is made with 100% North American ingredients and contains 4.2% alcohol by volume.
Real American Beer has already been available in several U.S. states and began its rollout in Ohio this week. To celebrate, Hogan is traveling to different retailers throughout the state — including right here in the Cincinnati area.
The wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, met with fans in Liberty Township and Oxford earlier in the day. Then, the Hulkster made a stop at Oxford's Brick Street Bar.
Of course, his appearances did not come without drama. There have been reports of some protesters outside his events.
In a video shared by TMZ earlier this week, Hogan is seen at a bar in Medina, Ohio, asking if anyone wants him to "body slam" or "drop the leg" on Vice President Kamala Harris. That comes just weeks after he made an appearance at the Republican National Convention, giving a speech in support of former President Donald Trump.
When asked about his previous comments on Harris, Hogan said in Liberty Township it was a tongue-in-cheek joke taken out of context. He said he has been watching parts of the Democratic National Convention and referred to the election as a "jump ball," stating he is still on Trump's side.
