Should Paul Walter Hauser ever adopt a Hollywood gimmick, the Cobra Kai star has joked he would go full Hogan with a reality show, racist comments, and support for Donald Trump.
Hauser will compete in a five-way for the PROGRESS Proteus Championship against Simon Miller, Effy, Charles Crowley, and Adam Priest at PROGRESS Wrestling's Las Vegas show on Thursday, April 17.
Speaking exclusively with Cultaholic's Tom Campbell, Hauser revealed he wouldn't want to wrestle David Arquette should he win the Proteus Title, but Hauser would like to have Arquette be his corner man for a match.
"Oh goodness, I like the guy so much I don't know if I would even want to wrestle him. My challenge to him would be could he come out and be my corner man, be my manager or something. Be part of the entourage. Hollywood Hauser, man. I've got to find three other actors to come to the ring with me," Hauser said.
After humming along to the nWo theme, Hauser added: "I'm gonna have to get a reality show and then I'm gonna have to say a racial slur in a sec. That's kind of the lineage of behaviour. Then I'm gonna vote for Trump."
Hulk Hogan was previously kicked out of the WWE Hall of Fame after racist comments he made were leaked in 2015. Hogan was later reinstated to the Hall of Fame, but he has continued to make racist gestures, including making a racist remark while mocking Kamala Harris. Hogan was also pictured with two neo-Nazis while promoting his Real American Beer in 2024.
Hogan was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign, appearing at multiple Trump rallies.
Chapter 179: PROGRESS Las Vegas will emanate from the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort at 11:59 pm PT on Thursday, April 17. Tickets are available now.
