Hulk Hogan isn’t ruling out The Rock for President — in fact, he thinks Dwayne Johnson could absolutely take over the White House.

During an interview on News4JAX’s Going Ringside with Scott Johnson, the wrestling legend made it clear: “If he ran, he’d probably win.” Hogan pointed to The Rock’s massive global fan base and longtime loyalty from supporters, saying, “He’s got a great following… he’s got a built-in audience that’s been with him for over 20 years.”

The Hulkster also gave credit where it’s due, acknowledging that while he dipped his toes into Hollywood decades ago, The Rock kicked the whole damn door off.

“I kind of cracked the door open in Hollywood and he kicked it off its hinges,” Hogan added. “If he ran… he’d make a great president.”

Speculation about Johnson’s political future has swirled for years, especially with his centrist views, outsider status, and massive crossover appeal. And in a world where pro wrestlers have become mayors, governors, and even part of a president’s cabinet — it doesn’t sound all that far-fetched anymore.

The Rock, who recently returned to WWE TV as the “Final Boss,” hasn’t declared anything officially when it comes to politics, but Hogan’s comments might fuel the fire again. In today’s America, a former WWE Champion running the country doesn’t sound as wild as it once did.

Would you vote for The Rock if he ran for president? And do you think his wrestling and entertainment background gives him an edge with voters? Sound off in the comments — let’s hear your take.
