On the newest episode of his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, the Olympian revealed everything about working with The Rock. At one point in time, both stars were at the top of WWE and gave great performances, on the mic and in the ring. But there was a separation from Johnson’s side when Hollywood came knocking at his door.
About his double duty in WWE and Hollywood Angle said, “I was surprised because by this time he had the movie deal. Rock was a workhorse. He never turned Vince down. Always wanted to work harder and harder. He wanted to show up. There are a lot of times when he had movies coming up. And if the show was in his city, where he was, he would tell Vince I want to wrestle tonight.”
Could we see Dwayne Johnson return to the ring?
One thing of note that Angle added while talking about Johnson’s double duty was, “So Dwayne always wanted to be a part of wrestling and he always was up until a short period of time ago. But you know, I wouldn’t doubt if he comes back again.” Could this be a hint towards a potential return for The Rock?
