Despite eating 10 pounds of food per day to remain the top action hero on the big screen, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson still yearns for the love from packed WWE crowds.
During a recent sit down with SI’s Extra Mustard, The Rock hinted at an explosive Wrestlemania 32 matchup that would shatter attendance records.
Rock hasn’t hinted at an opponent yet, but he has been texting an emailing with WWE power brokers about making it happen.
“Myself, Vince, Triple H have talked about creating something that is amazing. Any time for me, going back into the WWE, especially if it’s a match – and these guys know this because of the open dialogue between me and Triple H – the question is, can we create, in terms of a promotional scale for the fans, something better than what we did in Miami and back-to-back in New York with John Cena? Can we put together something that’s different but equally, if not more, exciting? So there’s a lot of elements involved that we continue to talk about and chop up. That’s the coolest part about the relationship I have with the McMahons, including Triple H. Look, the platform is there. You have Dallas and could set an attendance record, so that’s the first goal. And then what is the match that allows us to do that? I’ve had incredible matches with Triple H, so I’m not ruling it out, but I’m not saying it is going to happen. We continue to talk about it, and we’re still shooting each other text messages. He sent me a message from Dallas that said, ‘This could be us. The record is ours.’ So we’ll see.”
Rock is a regular at Wrestlemania, but it will be interesting to see who and what would make Mania 32 in Dallas must see.
