When Hooters announced its bankruptcy filing, chicken wing fans mourned the loss. Though the restaurant claimed it intended to stay open despite the filing, many worried the iconic Hooters Girls would be a thing of the past. But now, it looks like Hulk Hogan plans to save Hooters with his Real American Beer brand.

“I’ve seen firsthand the incredible value and opportunities our brand brings to life, and I look forward to continuing that momentum well into the future. I’m incredibly grateful to our valued customers, partners, and employees for their continued support,” Sal Melilli, Chief Executive Officer of Hooters of America, said in a news release in March.
Hulk Hogan And Hooters Sounds Like a Match Made In Heaven To Many People
Could there be a better tag team than Hulk Hogan and Hooters? Plenty of fans doubt it. Binging Real American Beer and the cheeky chicken wing company together seemed like a natural marriage to many people. Real American Beer shared the news on X, and fans immediately praised the company.
A fan cheered, “Shut the front door! Hell yeah! Wrestler girls? Mud matches? It’s limitless.”
This person agreed, “Please make this happen! My local Hooters looks like hell, and I would love some Real American Beer and wings.”
Another wrote of Hulk Hogan and his plan, “America is so freakin back baby!”
There was one naysayer who couldn’t help but poo poo the idea. “This is degenerate. Let the company founded on one of the seven deadly sins go to Hell where it belongs. Stop poisoning our country!”
“As we look toward the future, we are committed to restoring the Hooters brand back to its roots and simplifying HOA’s operations by adopting a pure franchise model that will maximize the potential for sustainable, long-term growth,” Neil Kiefer, CEO of Hooters Inc., said in a release. “The foundation we’ve laid ensures the continued success of our brand – one that is driven by a relentless focus on delivering an exceptional experience each and every visit for our customers.”
If Hulk Hogan can’t save Hooters, no one can.
