The Rock on Jim Rome

[dablackguy]

The Rock was on Jim Rome is Burning. Nothing earth shattering, went something like this:

Says he’s no longer The Rock but became Dywane Johnson, the actor, a few years ago, retired quietly to not make a big production about it. Which is why he keeps getting asked about it, says he’s done.

Says he wrestled because he loved it, grew up around it, though he always loved football and Miami. He was always interested in wrestling though, wants to get into Sitcom television

Says The Gameplan is a big comedy, had been waiting for the right material, felt this was it. He kinda appreciates the happy ending aspect that Studio Disney always gives you.

Ruptured an Achilles tendon on the set. “Most severe injury I’ve ever suffered” got hurt in football and in wrestling, but nothing like that. Delayed production for 2 months

Approves of the coach @ Miami and thinks he’s the right guy to turn the program around.

On Benoit: Says he was a great guy. The guy he knew was a tremendous guy and he couldn’t figure out why. Hated to see it happen. Felt it was awful when he heard it happened; knew the family, says it was difficult to handle.

Misses the crowd interaction most about wrestling. Says you don’t get a live reaction like you do in wrestling. “In Wrestling, if a joke bombs, you know it right away”
