Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he is done with wrestling, why & more

**Proverbs** · 09-12-2007, 05:47 PM

The Houston Chronicle has an interview up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson about his new film "The Game Plan" with Disney and how he is done with professional wrestling.

Johnson added quote, "Absolutely, I'm done with wrestling. I love wrestling. My grandfather (Peter Maivia) and father (Rocky Johnson) wrestled. I grew up with wrestling. But wrestling was something where I always wanted to keep growing. I had the opportunity to wrestle with the best — Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Steve Austin, Undertaker and Bill Goldberg. But once I wrestled all the guys I wanted to wrestle, I realized that I couldn't grow any more with wrestling."

In regards to wrestling fans still asking if he will ever return to the company, Johnson had the following to say: "The reason people still ask if I'm coming back is because I never made a big production of my retirement like a lot of guys do. I just wanted to quietly get out. I quietly walked away."
