The WWE Hall of Famer shared his main policy proposals, which include “a one-time tax and nothing but common sense.” While revealing that if chosen, he would serve for twelve years as he would be re-elected due to his amazing work. He said, “Hey, you never know. I would make right now. I’d make a great vice president brother, because I do have common sense. I do know right from wrong. I just think a flat tax would be a fair play for everybody here. And if I was the V.P. and then all of a sudden I roll right into that top spot. Four years later, you get eight more; actually, you get 12 good years out of me. And then all of a sudden we would really be on track.”

Earlier in the show, he was asked to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Although Hulkster refrained from answering the question, he did not deny being a Trump supporter when asked by the host. This sudden interest in politics is not unusual for public figures like the former wrestlers. Who sometimes use their fame to influence the political landscape.
Anecdotally, the combination of politics and wrestling is not strange in the contemporary history of the United States. Former President Donald Trump actively participated in WWE’s Red Brand and even was a part of the Battle of the Billionaires during Wrestlemania. The Hulkster is known as the American hero, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he gains the support of his fans in case he decides to run for Vice Presidency. Even his recent beer brand, which he came to promote on the show in the first place, proves his patriotism.
