The Rock Comments On WWE Working Through Pandemic

The Rock has had his say on WWE continuing to work shows and produce new content despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

He did a Q&A on Instagram Live, during which a fan asked him if he missed wrestling, which is what led him onto the topic.

Rock said:

“I do miss wrestling. I love wrestling. I loved professional wrestling. I loved it. Here’s what I loved about it. I loved the…I loved creating with the pro wrestlers that I had great chemistry with and but the thing I miss the most about professional wrestling was just being able to connect with an audience every night. Every night was just a showcase. I didn’t give a sh*t about being — as many of you know as you followed my career in pro wrestling — I didn’t give a s**t about being the biggest guy, the strongest guy, the loudest guy, the toughest guy, the guy who won all the time, the guy who was the craziest and jumped off the top of the cage, and moons and all that s**t.

“By the way, there’s a purpose for those guys by the way [and] many of those guys are my friends. I just always cared about connecting with an audience. That was really the most important thing for me. So I do, I miss that part about pro wrestling because there’s nothing like it and there’s nothing like being able to listen to an audience. I love it.

“But I do miss that yeah. But also the wrestling business has changed really dramatically since I was in it. Not to say that it’s changed for the worse or for the better, it’s just different. I still follow it and I have a lot of love and respect for all the men and the women who continue to put their bodies on the line and by the way, it’s crazy they’re continuing to put their bodies on the line as through this pandemic. They’re still working hard and just wrestling and sweating on each other and just doing all this but all in the name of entertaining the fans which I think is always cool because wrestling has always had this adaptability to it that was always very cool. So, I do [miss wrestling] so thanks for asking me that.”
