The Rock has a lot of time on his hands due to being stuck at home because of the coronavirus pandemic so he took some time to answer some questions from fans on Sunday during an Instagram Live session.

Most of the questions were non-wrestling related but he did answer someone who asked him if he misses wrestling. The Rock’s response is below.

“I do miss wrestling., I love wrestling. I loved professional wrestling. I loved it. Here’s what I loved about it. I loved the…I loved creating with the pro wrestlers that I had great chemistry with and but the thing I miss the most about professional wrestling was just being able to connect with an audience every night. Every night was just a showcase. I didn’t give a sh*t about being — as many of you know as you followed my career in pro wrestling — I didn’t give a sh*t about being the biggest guy, the strongest guy, the loudest guy, the toughest guy, the guy who won all the time, the guy who was the craziest and jumped off the top of the cage, and moons and all that sh*t.”

“By the way, there’s a purpose for those guys by the way [and] many of those guys are my friends. I just always cared about connecting with an audience. That was really the most important thing for me. So I do, I miss that part about pro wrestling because there’s nothing like it and there’s nothing like being able to listen to an audience. I love it.”

“But I do miss that yea. But also the wrestling business has changed really dramatically since I was in it. Not to say that it’s changed for the worse or for the better, it’s just different. I still follow it and I have a lot of love and respect for all the men and the women who continue to put their bodies on the line and by the way, it’s crazy they’re continuing to put their bodies on the line as through this pandemic. They’re still working hard and just wrestling and sweating on each other and just doing all this but all in the name of entertaining the fans which I think is always cool because wrestling has always had this adaptability to it that was always very cool. So, I do [miss wrestling] so thanks for asking me that.”

After he answered the question, Rock noticed a comment from Dana White on his feed. He said, “Dana White, good to see you my brother, always. I got nothing but love for you man and I feel you brother. I feel you with everything you’re doing through. When you guys come back and when the company comes back and the velocity … every fight, they are gonna be bangers. The moment I can you know I’m gonna be cageside and I’m gonna be right there with you Dana. Good to see you brother.”

Rock also discussed his new tequila, AEW, his workouts, the possibility of writing another book and much more.
