According to TMZ.com, Hulk Hogan’s Real American brand is bidding to acquire the intellectual property of restaurant chain Hooters. Hooters filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March of 2025 to restructure its debts.

There are reportedly ideas for Hogan’s brand to relaunch Hooters through consumer products, digital content, gaming, and more to attract younger audiences. The following statement was given to TMZ.com…

“Hooters is more than just wings and nostalgia — it’s part of the American story. We see enormous potential to modernize the brand without losing its bold identity. Under our umbrella, Hooters will return to the spotlight as a symbol of unfiltered Americana — fun, fearless, and proudly American.”
