Look who Enda Kenny wrestled* with yesterday

*Sort of

IT’S PROBABLY THE least likely pairing you could imagine – Taoiseach Enda Kenny and WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan.

This snap was shared by journalist Simon Carswell of the Irish Times:

The pair bumped into each other in the airport while on the way from Atlanta to Austin.

Both were heading to the SXSW Festival, where Kenny will speak about the Irish economy and Hogan will chat about (what else?) the WWE.

Hulk Hogan was wearing a ‘Hulk Hogan’ t-shirt, just in case anyone didn’t recognise him.

The muscled wrestler isn’t the only celebrity that the Taoiseach has been rubbing shoulders with:

Paddy Power pointed out that there was more than one wrestling star in the photo:

Will their meeting have any impact on Kenny? Some think it might…

One thing is sure though – we haven’t seen Enda this excited in quite some time:
