Close, but not perfectly. The tongue sinks lower when making the "aw" sound vs the "o" sound, so they sound slightly different.

Yes, or atleast it's close enough, which is why in Paper Mario it's Rawk Hawk, because it sounds like "rock."

this reasoning never made sense to me. why would they need to change the spelling if the words allegedly already rhyme

Because he's a poser and it's supposed to look "cooler" than just being Rock Hawk. Like when people replace S with Z.

His catchphrases are things like "Who's ready to rawk?!" which is obviously intended to be "rock."

Also, he's based on The Rock, so they probably wanted to avoid a potential lawsuit.

This doesn't really make sense, because they clearly expect people to know they mean "rock," given the... Blatant context, so it makes much more sense that they expect people to say it that way so they get the joke immediately.

As a Brit, they absolutely do not rhyme. One is pronounced "Sock" and the other "Hawk".
