Wrestling star Hulk Hogan will be speaking Thursday at the Republican National Convention, just a few slots before former President Donald Trump.

The RNC's official schedule lists Hogan as speaking in the 7:30-8:00 p.m. CT block. Hogan has previously mulled running for office. 

“Hey, you never know,” Hogan said during a June interview with NewsNation, according to The Hill. “Right now, I’d make a great vice president, brother, because I do have common sense. I do know right from wrong.”

Hogan was well known for ripping off his shirt when he entered the wrestling ring before matches. 

Other celebrities attending the RNC include Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, singer Lee Greenwood, and Amber Rose. 

On Wednesday, GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance spoke, as well as Trump's granddaughter Kai Madison Trump.
