Hulk Hogan almost seemed to fit in at the Liberty Ball on Monday following President Donald Trump's second inauguration.
Yes, the WWE legend wore a striking black scarf over his golden locks, but even so, Terry Bollea, 71, wore the usual sports jacket to the gala evening.
He could have achieved the “dear friend of the new president” look by adding a bow tie and sash, but that may have gone too far.
Furthermore, Hogan's instincts would eventually get the better of him and the ardent Trump supporter soon ripped off the sleeves of his jacket and opened his shirt during a wild segment on Fox News.
'You know, Jesse,' Hogan told Fox News' Jesse Watters, 'this lawsuit is holding me back just like that four-year administration (Biden). The lies, the deceptions, everything that's going on, brother.
Like most Americans, the smiling Watters knew what to expect.
Hogan took some time during his appearance on Fox News to promote his new beer brand.
Hogan opened his shirt and revealed another one underneath, reading: 'Trumpamania.'
A red-faced Hogan began tugging at his sleeves as he repeated some key Trump campaign terms, such as “secure borders” and “lower gas prices.”
In the middle of his ramble, Hogan paused to promote the beer brand emblazoned on his black T-shirt: 'We have Real American Beer!'
He then opened that T-shirt, revealing another one with 'Trumpamania' written on the front in the same fiery font that Hogan used for 'Hulkamania' merchandise during the height of his fame in the 1980s.
'We have Trumpamania, brother! We've got Trumpamania running this country, bro!' Hogan yelled. 'One nation under God. Jesse Watters, this is your world, brother.
From there, Hogan began to imagine that Trump would bring America back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the famous wrestler was growing up in Georgia and Florida.
“Bro, it's like when I was a kid and I could ride my bike all night until the street lights came on,” he said. 'It was as if before I could go to the cinema and not lock the bike. We have recovered our country. Let's get everything back to where it should be, brother.'
Hogan went on to suggest that Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman should “change parties” or join “some place called WWE,” before engaging Watters in his act with some fun wrestling maneuvers.
'All I would say, bro, is what are you going to do when Hulk Hogan, Jesse Watters, Donald Trump and all of America go crazy on you!' Hogan yelled.

Hogan is, of course, an ardent supporter of the president-elect. He endorsed Trump's candidacy at the 2024 Republican convention and later spoke in support of his fellow TV star at a rally at Madison Square Garden in October. He even ran as Trump's vice president before JD Vance was elected.
It was a very different scene earlier this month when Hogan was booed by WWE fans in Los Angeles.
The wrestling icon, who has a love-hate relationship with WWE fans after a series of controversial moments outside the ring, was a special guest as the company hosted the first show of its $5 billion deal with Netflix.
When he entered the Intuit Dome in California, he was roundly booed by the crowd, much to the surprise of fans watching at home, and DailyMail.com can now reveal that the Hulkster himself was also stunned by the reaction.
Hogan was banned from WWE in 2015 after a tape surfaced of him making racist comments, including using the n-word.
In a video made public by The National Enquirer, Hogan said, “I guess we're all a little racist” and used the n-word when referring to his daughter's love life, including repeating the phrase “fuck.” Niggas' several times.'
According to Radar, the audio shows him using a series of racist comments in a rant about his daughter Brooke, 27, who was trying to launch a music career, to Heather Clem, the wife of a friend.

She is reported to have said that “a black billionaire” had offered to finance her and then speculated about her sex life.
Hogan told Clem: 'I don't know if Brooke was fucking the black's son… I mean, I don't have any double standards. I mean, I'm a racist, to some extent, a fucking black. But then when it comes to nice people and shit and whatever.
He continued: 'I mean, I'd rather if she was going to fuck some black, I'd rather she marry some 8 foot tall black worth a hundred. millions of dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we're all a little racist. Damn blacks.'
He was initially kicked out of the WWE Hall of Fame, but has since been allowed to return and repaired his relationship with the company's power brokers.
After making headlines in California, there is now also talk of more storylines, and that they will follow a similar path to The Rock by making him a 'heel', or bad guy.
“Those in the back have listened to the fans as they do with most of their stories,” a source previously told DailyMail.com. “They listen to the audience and if they have a direction they want to go with something, they'll try it first, but if the crowd's reaction is so different, they'll make sure to steer it in the direction the tide is going.”
“It's already been discussed that the next time they put Hogan on TV it's going to be to make him a heel or a bad guy, because the last time he was a bad guy, it worked wonders for his career.”
