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."
