Hulk Hogan Poses For Photo With Man Plastered With Abhorrent Hate Symbol Tattoos

Hulk Hogan has been pictured posing with a man covered in Nazi tattoos on their right arm, including an SS tattoo and a tattoo of the Iron Cross.

The image of Hogan was snapped at a meet and greet as the WWE Hall of Famer promotes his 'Real American Beer' on a tour across the United States. Hogan landed in Boise, Idaho on July 31 and the picture suggests Hogan met the neo-Nazi at an ExtraMile by Jacksons Food store after 12 pm on Wednesday.

Why Hogan wasn't stopped from taking a picture with a man with an SS tattoo is unknown. The WWE Hall of Famer has become more and more controversial over the last 10 years after past racist comments made by Hogan were leaked, including him using the N-word multiple times to describe his daughter Brooke's then-boyfriend. WWE severed their ties with Hogan after the audio leaked in 2015, only to start using Hogan again in 2018.

Hogan recently gave a speech at the Republican National Convention ahead of Donald Trump accepting the Republican Party nomination for president of the United States. Hogan called Donald Trump his hero during the speech and channelled the catchphrases he made famous, including, "Let Trumpamania Run Wild."

The SS (Schutzstaffel) was a paramilitary organisation under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party during Nazi Germany. The group was most responsible for the genocidal murder of 5.5 to 6 million Jews and millions of others during the Holocaust.

The Iron Cross was a military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia and then the German Empire before it was revived during Nazi Germany.
