Before Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was the superstar that he is today, he was a young up-and-coming pro-wrestler, and back then some WWE vets played a paru prank on him.
Mark Henry, a former WWE wrestler, said that he used to have a locker next to The Rock when they were younger.
One day he saw a bunch of wrestlers acting up near where their two lockers were, only to find the pro wrestlers had played a crappy prank on the future ‘Jumanji’ star.
“I came in and saw people laughing and giggling and running away from where our lockers were,” he said on the ‘Busted Open’ podcast.
“Somebody sh*t in his food box, so of course, I had to dispose of this and tell him, ‘Hey man, don’t leave your food in here’."
First of all, the image of a bunch of professional wrestlers giggling and jumping around like school kids is pretty funny, even if the prank is way too far.
Secondly, a big shout out to Mark Henry for being a good mate.
The wrestlers who pulled the prank were apparently jealous of The Rock being the cool new kid on the block with all the charisma and star power in the world, so wanted to get back at him.
Surelyyy there’s a better way to do that than stinking up a locker room. Maybe they could have, like, wrestled him?!
As we now know, Dwayne turned himself into one of the biggest (literally) superstars in the world, making the prank just a gross footnote in his story.
