The Rock shuts down comedian who told him 'wrestling isn't real'
Warning: Story contains coarse language
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is considered one of the nicest guys in show business, but he's also not someone you want to tick off.
After Johnson congratulated WWE legend Kurt Angle on his in-ring return at Sunday's "TLC" pay-per-view, Australian comedian Ben Pobjie responded by pointing out that "wrestling isn't real."
Congrats to my good bud @RealKurtAngle and his return tonight to a @WWE ring. Special athlete and great human being. Have FUN brotha #WWETLC

Dwayne, wrestling isn't real. It's time you knew. https://t.co/3iqKjHfNAn

Johnson fired back with this:
😂 👏🏾 I like the dry wit

Correct, I do in fact know wrestling isn’t real. Thats why I said “have fun”. I also know, you can go fuck yourself.
He wasn't as angry as he let on, though:
Haha I just hit you back. Yes, I not only got the zany but appreciated it as well. 🙌🏾
