The Rock issues response to claim that he “threw Triple H under the bus” with WrestleMania 41 comments
While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson explained why he didn’t appear at WWE WrestleMania 41 for Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena. The Rock also gave praise to the match but said he would have “finessed things a little differently on how they got there.”
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, host Dave LaGreca addressed Rock’s comments…
“Now that everybody’s bitching and moaning about the end of WrestleMania 41, The Rock is going to go on Pat McAfee, who has the biggest show in sports talk radio, you’re going to go on his show and say, ‘Yeah, I would have done it differently. Yeah, I would have adjusted some things.’ Nice to hear from you now, pal. It’s over! But really, you talk about a Monday morning quarterback. That’s a Tuesday morning quarterback. Thanks, pal. Didn’t make yourself available, didn’t show up at WrestleMania. But now I’m going to say, ‘Yeah, I would have done things differently.’ You talk about completely throwing Triple H under the bus. That’s exactly what The Rock did. You know what you say if you’re The Rock? You know what? ‘I thought they did an awesome job.’ Or you know what? Don’t say anything at all. But by saying that, you just threw Triple H on this bus. If you’re not going to be there and you didn’t take part of it, then you shouldn’t say anything about it.”
Rock responded to Dave via Instagram…
“Hi Dave, the business is a complete work. Always has been, always will be. Every aspect of it. Every match. Every interview. Please join me, Cody [Rhodes], [John] Cena, Brian and the rest of us for our creative discussions so you can expand your perspective. Until then, stop ranting, it’s not healthy my friend. Enjoy the show. Ps, tell Bubba I have Grand Marnier and hush puppies for all of us 🥃🤣.”
