Garner revealed that the incident took place during the 2003 WrestleMania. He said, ” I only had $100 in my pocket when I left the house. I’m short on cash and trying to wing it. I get in the lobby of the hotel and somebody called Rock and told him I was there. He calls my phone, ‘What are you doing here?’ ‘I’m just hanging out with the boys.’ ‘Come out with us tonight to dinner.’ I go out with him and the boys. The bill was like $1600 for eight or nine of us.”
