Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson told the wrestling host that he was not healthy for him to be so animated in the sport, explaining that the whole business is not authentic.
Johnson’s comments stemmed from complaints about WWE’s WrestleMania 41, which aired April 19-20, and were disappointed by the fact that Johnson did not appear. What made the no-show even worse was the fact that Johnson was deeply involved in the storyline leading up to the event where John Cena returned to the top of the promotion.
SiriusXM host and wrestling reporter Dave Lagreca, one of Johnson’s most vocal critics, criticising the star for going to a talk show after the event for saying he did WrestleMania differently.
“I’m glad to hear from you now, mate. That’s over,” Ragreka told him. show “Bust open.” “Now, everyone is complaining and complaining. “Yeah. I’d have done that differently.” Ah, you’re talking about Monday morning quarterback. You talk about throwing completely [WWE] Under the bus. That’s exactly what the rock did. ”
‘Stop ranting. My friend, it’s not healthy. Enjoy the show. ”
Johnson responded to comments in an Instagram post shared on the show. The 52-year-old quickly explained in his response that everything in the wrestling business is for the show.
“Hello Dave, business is a complete job. It’s always and will always be,” Johnson wrote. “Every aspect of it. Every match. Every interview. Join me, [other former wrestlers]and the rest of us for our creative discussion so you can broaden your perspective. ”
Johnson then told the host, “Stop ranting. It’s not healthy, my friend. Enjoy the show.”
In the world of wrestling, “work” essentially means an act or a bit, and given that almost everyone in the world knows that a pre-determined winner will come to professional wrestling, Johnson’s response was taken as an unnecessary jab for anyone with passion for business.
At the same time, Johnson’s response could certainly be considered a work, as Cena’s return involves a new bit that involves deliberately destroying the business. The criticism here is hidden by the fact that Johnson is pre-determined to escape responsibility for unacceptable products.
WWE has certainly found new ways to blur its line of business in recent years, but it has openly spoken about its products and its past on shows and podcasts. Even the company’s creative head was created by Paul “Triple H” Levesque. exterior That would have really upset the previous generation of wrestlers, given the depth he exposed the company’s internal work.
