WWE superstar Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson recently tweeted about shooting the season finale of his latest T.V show, ‘The Hero’. A fan asked The Rock if he was ever offered a lucrative deal from the WCW during the infamous ‘Monday night wars’. The Rock replied to the tweet as follows:

Rock is perhaps the most recognized WWE superstar around the world and was at the pinnacle of fame during the early 2000s. He is currently a hot property in the Hollywood circuit as well.

@paul_coulter Yup in the beginning. Offered 2xs my WWE salary. No thank you. My goal was to 'move the crowd' first. Money would come later.
