Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Hulk Hogan.

Hogan was fired by the WWE last week after racist comments he made on a sex tape eight years ago became public.

Johnson, who was promoting his HBO series, "Ballers," at a press event on Thursday, had this to say about Hogan:

Hogan and Johnson appeared in the ring together last year at WrestleMania XXX, where they kicked off the show along with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
