Rock, a guy with zero prior training who's background was being a backup at Miami football, was just going to waltz into Pride and go against the likes of Don Frye and Fedor and Cro Cop for $200K. There isn't a scintilla of this story that is remotely true.

He should stick to things he can fake -- like wrestling, acting, ah becoming president. He's a big guy, but MMA you can't fake...and you can get your arse kicked by someone much smaller.

I like the Rock - but he would have been Brock Lesnar 2.0

the Rock did the right thing - get out of wrestling at the height of his popularity and use it to catapult his acting.

This is a Hulk Hogan level bs lie. Next interview he'll tell us he was asked to join Foo Fighters as their drummer first.

Imagine it’s 1997, you’re a 25 year old washed up former college football player and you’re making a measly 150k to be a famous tv star. Obviously a salt of the earth guy like the rock would hate that.

This isn't the first time he's said this. That and name dropping people he spoke gives me no reason to believe he's lying

Imagine how much less money he and Oprah would have raised for Hawaiian wildfire victims if he went into MMA. Things happen for a reason.
