Often times, celebrities are heckled online. While many take it head-on with thunderous rage, some deploy gentler methods. Like Dwayne Johnson, who recently shot back at a Twitter user for criticizing his product. The person even dragged WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin in the argument, hoping to score a point against the pro wrestling icon.

But how did it turn out? Let’s take a look at how Johnson reacted and find out the possible winner of this keyboard bout.

Twitter user says Project Rock shoes weaker than Dwayne Johnson’s WrestleMania 19 opponent

Well, it started with a Twitter user, who goes by the name Degan Munsy, calling out The Brahman Bull for the quality of his Project Rock Shoes. Johnson launched the footwear in association with Under Armour.

The person asked the WWE icon and the shoe company how the soles wear out faster than the insole tags. They also asked the 51-year-old to make a pair for grownups. Replying to the post, The Great One wrote a self-deprecating comment and called himself small brained. He then stated what could be deemed as the most logical explanation for the problem, talking about friction and hard surfaces.

Reacting to the comment, another user, Trevor Freiermuth, hailed it as the “most professional insult” they have ever heard. Munsy, however, didn’t let go of the argument and said, “Sole wore out faster than STSA at WM19”. This was a reference to The Texas Rattlesnake, who fought The Rock at the said WrestleMania event.

This was Stone Cold’s last match, and he had an underwhelming performance, based on the high standard he had set over the years. After jostling for over 15 minutes, Johnson finally picked up the victory, overcoming a Stunner from his famed opponent earlier.

Munsy also accused the Hollywood star of being “juiced up” and “hurting young men’s mental health by setting false expectations for their bodies”.

UFC heavyweight slams The Rock for his shoe deal

A few days ago, UFC heavyweight Tanner Boser came down hard on Johnson for the nature of his deal with the UFC. The pro wrestler-turned-actor has inked a bond with the UFC that makes athletes in the promotion wear Project Rock shoes during their walkouts.

Despite being a sponsor, Johnson, according to Boser, doesn’t pay the athletes to endorse the product. The MMA fighter went on an expletive-filled rant about the lack of money, during an interview. And not just him, another UFC fighter also asked for a change of sponsorship, seeking replacement of Project Rock footwear.

Johnson, on the other hand, has launched a new technology for his shoes, which, according to him, will render users with better experience. Let’s see if he’s able to turn things around with innovation.
