Why The Rock Would Make Great US President According To WWE Hall Of Famer
A former rival of The Rock thinks that “The Final Boss” has what it takes to be a great President of the United States.
In the world of WWE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a future Hall of Famer who will always be regarded as one of the greatest superstars of all time.
Outside of WWE, The Rock has become not just one of the most successful actors in the world, but also one of the most famous people alive.
Due to his popularity with millions (and perhaps billions) of people all over the globe, the idea of The Rock as the President of the United States is brought up occasionally in public. It was even an idea teased on Rock’s “Young Rock” show on NBC, which ran for three seasons and 37 episodes.
Hulk Hogan is a WWE Hall of Famer who famously wrestled Rock at WrestleMania 18 in 2002. Hogan also knows a thing or two about politics since he endorsed Donald Trump as US President and even spoke at the Republican Convention before the election.
While speaking with Going Ringside, the Hulkster pitched the idea of Rock as the American President.
“He’d probably win. He’s got a great following. He’s a built-in audience that’s been with him for over 20 years, you know.
I kind of like cracked the door open in Hollywood, and he kicked it off its hinges, so you know, if he ran…I don’t think he’s interested right now, but down the road, he’d make a great President.”
The Rock Claims He Isn’t Interested In A Presidential Run
During a January 2024 appearance on Fox News, The Rock shot down the idea of running for US President while mentioning his family as a big reason why.
I’m honored. I’m not a politician, [I] never had the intentions to be a politician. As all this continues to take shape and form, and I get it, especially ramping up into this year in particular with an election year. I actually got approached by both parties. One after the other. I said, then, as I say now, ‘I’m honored, thank you.
The most important thing I’m doing now is being a daddy to my little girls.’ I like school drop-offs, and I like pick-ups. I like that and I know if I were to ever go down that road, which I have no intention to, all that goes away, and I don’t want that to go away.
The Rock has two young daughters with his wife Lauren, and also has an older daughter who WWE fans know as NXT GM Ava.
