Hulk Hogan has faced many controversies over the years, yet he remains one of the most famous people in the world. He is one of the few wrestling figures involved in the current political scene in the U.S. In 2024, he spent months campaigning for Donald Trump, who aimed to return to the presidency. Hogan has become a notable supporter of the former president.
Recently, Hogan was interviewed by News4Jax. The retired wrestler was asked about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson possibly running for president someday. Hogan quickly said Johnson would likely win. He believes The Rock’s huge fanbase, built over 20 years, would carry him to victory.
Hogan also pointed out that Johnson has become a major Hollywood star. While The Rock doesn’t seem interested in politics now, Hogan thinks he’d be a great president if he ever ran. The WWE legend isn’t just guessing—he knows how popular Johnson is.
A 2021 poll showed 46% of Americans supported The Rock for president. He outperformed all other hypothetical candidates. Even Cody Rhodes, one of Johnson’s biggest WWE rivals, admitted The Rock would win by a landslide if he ran. His appeal is undeniable.
Hulk Hogan never thought John Cena would turn heel
Modern wrestling fans will never forget John Cena’s heel turn. It’s one of the most shocking twists in decades. The moment happened at Elimination Chamber earlier this month. At The Rock’s request, Cena attacked Cody Rhodes with a low blow.
Hulk Hogan recently compared Cena’s turn to his own. He noted a key difference. When Hogan turned heel, the crowd cheered him. But Cena was booed loudly after embracing his dark side. The reactions were completely opposite.
The Rock played a major role in Cena’s heel turn. Hogan had previously endorsed The Rock for president. Ironically, The Rock was the one behind Cena’s shocking betrayal. This added another layer to the storyline.
Cena’s turn has left fans divided. Some love the unexpected twist, while others hate it. Either way, it’s a moment that will be talked about for years. Wrestling history was made at Elimination Chamber.
