You give me your info and I’ll leave you mine and I’ll take care of everything. He stared at me again, cocked his head sideways and said…’Uhhh.. Are you The Rock?’. I said ‘Yup’. He broke out into a huge smile and said ‘Wow, this is gonna be an awesome story!’. I started belly laughing at that, then he started laughing and before you know it we’re both standing in the middle of the street pointing to his mirror and laughing like two ol’ crazy buddies.
Comments on Wrestlemania rumors

Muscle and Fitness interview

We just have to figure out what it could be and what the most ideal matchup would be, and who it would be with. Because I always feel like if I go back to the WWE, then it has to be bigger and greater than what I’ve done in the past, and I don’t know what could be bigger in terms of marquee value—in terms of value across the board—and to me it has to surpass what we’ve done.

It was a great scene to shoot and that particular scene was the scene I looked forward to the most, because it’s the iconic scene.
