Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) Rubbishes Wrestling Return Rumors  9/14/06

The Scorpion King star Dwayne Johnson has rubbished rumors he is set to adopt his The Rock persona again and return to the wrestling ring.

The 34-year-old found fame of one of World Wrestling Entertainment's best-loved stars and retired quietly from grappling to become a movie star.

And he insists wrestling was merely a stepping stone on the way to attaining his true calling in Hollywood, and he has no intention of going back.

Johnson says, "I have been out (of wrestling ) now for about three, four years. People always ask me (if I will go back) because I quietly got out.

"I never wanted to make a big splash or exodus... I just wanted to quietly get out and devote myself to acting.

"When I first got into acting I never wanted to say from this day forward I only want to be know as Dwayne Johnson as that did not feel good to me or right.

"But I wanted to hopefully - and I am happy this is what has taken place naturally."
