Hulk Hogan Was Once Willing to Put His Health on the Line for Dwayne Johnson: “When I Saw How Good He Was…”

WWE RAW celebrated its 30 years this week. And the special event witnessed some of the biggest names in the wrestling industry making their return to WWE. However, one shocking moment that caught everyone’s eye was Hulk Hogan’s return.

The 69-year-old Hogan is one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. His wrestling and mic skills are stated to be second to none. Ever since Hogan made his debut, he has been credited with taking WWE to new heights.

Back in 2018, Hulk Hogan was present at the ACE Comic-Con event, with Jimmy Hart. Here, at the event, Hogan was attending a Q&A session, when one fan asked his desire to face an opponent from the new roster. However, Hogan stated that there is no one new that he would like to face, though he respects them.

However, soon Hogan later revealed the opponents as John Cena and The Rock. Hogan would state the atmosphere was different during their match. However, despite several boos, The Rock still kept going.

Hogan said, “So the thing about The Rock was we went out there and things get totally flipped upside down on us. And I was cool about it but then when I saw how good he was and it didn’t rattle him when they started booing him and we had to really dig to get things on track.”

The 69-year-old would further stated, “ I would still love to get back in the ring one time with The Rock again because that match was so electric. I would love to get him in the ring one more time. I don’t give a darn if I had to have another back surgery it would be worth doing it.”

Hulk Hogan and The Rock faced each other at WrestleMania 18 in 2002, where The Rock came out victorious.

Hulk Hogan would also love to face John Cena

John Cena and Hulk Hogan never faced each other. However, although the duo has been in a team together, both these legends never came face to face. Both Hulk Hogan and John Cena are two of the most popular and legendary figures in the pro wrestling industry.

In the same aforementioned video, Hogan would reveal that he was supposed to face Cena once, however his back gave out a few days prior to their match, and the match unfortunately never took place.

He said, “I’d love to wrestle Cena because that’s the match that was supposed to happen in Orlando.” Now, looking at Hogan’s condition, the match is more out of the question.
