Former wrestler Hulk Hogan teased a political future since he retired from the sport over 10 years ago.
Hogan, whose legal name is Terry Gene Bollea, appeared on Fox & Friends on Friday where he was asked about running for political office at the age of 70. The wrestler did not rule out the career switch and even pitched a platform on the spot.
“We need somebody in there that’s got some common sense, you know what I’m saying? So if you need a president or a vice president, I’ll volunteer and take this country over and I’ll rule with an iron fist, a flat tax, nothing but common sense,” Hogan said. “I know right from wrong, brother!”
In 2018, Hogan considered a run for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat. That year, then-GOP Gov. Rick Scott won the seat by a slim 10,000 votes, which was 50.1% of the vote. Scott is up for reelection this November, with two Republican candidates challenging him in the August primary.

Meanwhile, Hogan is launching his own beer company, which will begin selling its “Real American Beer” in stores next week. This launch comes a year after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s post on TikTok with the single can sent by Bud Light that went viral and set off a firestorm against Bud Light. Mulvaney’s post has been viewed over 4.1 million times. Hogan saw the disastrous campaign as a “crazy open lane” for him to start his own business.
Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, lost about $395 million in U.S. sales by August of last year and its coveted spot as the top-selling American beer title, which then went to rival Modelo, a Mexican beer.
