Kofi Kingston jokes that it would be like wrestling The Rock.
In an interview with Tim Battle of the Battleground Podcast, WWE star Kingston was asked to name the historical figure he would want to wrestle. He named former President of the United States Barack Obama and joked that it would be like wrestling The Rock.
“I mean, maybe…I’d like to wrestle Barack Obama because it’d kind of be like wrestling The Rock? You know what I’m saying? Barack out there, people say they have similar voices and all that. Maybe Barack Obama. Just to say that I say that I wrestled, just to say that I beat a president because if I’m wrestling, if I’m getting to book the match, yeah, maybe Barack. It’d be a good little match," Kingston said.
