Speaking to host Will Cain, Johnson revealed that he's not happy with the state of America right now, highlighting "wokeness" and "cancel culture" as contributing to a division in the country that really bugs him.

“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics," he says. "I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me."

He is running.

He's a Saudi bitch. Rakes in millions from Saudi funding. Cancel culture? Ever seen Saudi cancel culture? gui-better or how Saudis chop journalists who expose them up? Or how they did a genocide against Yemen with US suport?

The crap is he crying about wokeness when he's freaking Maui? He was literally a diversity hire.

He was literally a diversity hire

The Rock was more of a nepotism hire as was his initial push as Rocky Maivia. His family had a long history with the WWF. The fans hated him at first for that reason. That's why he turned heel and became the Rock and got over

Nepo hires are good for angles and storylines. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes both had family in the business and both have had story lines involving their family.

No arguement there. More just a correction to saying he was a diversity hire and cause i felt like talking wrestling lol. Family has always been big in the industry since the territory days and probably before
