Everyone knows that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is probably the nicest and most likable guy ever; it’s literally impossible to hate the guy. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get pissed off, especially if you tell him wrestling isn’t real. Here’s what happened.
It all kicked off when The Rock decided to give a shoutout to WWE legend, Kurt Angle:
Congrats to my good bud @RealKurtAngle and his return tonight to a @WWE ring. Special athlete and great human being. Have FUN brotha #WWETLC
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) October 22, 2017
And then a comedian named Ben Pobjie responded with this:
Dwayne, wrestling isn’t real. It’s time you knew. https://t.co/3iqKjHfNAn

Well the Rock wasn’t going to let that slide because he came back hard:
I like the dry wit
Correct, I do in fact know wrestling isn’t real. Thats why I said “have fun”. I also know, you can go fuck yourself.— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) October 22, 2017
Holy hell.
Twitter of course loved it.

Pobjie had this to say after it all went down:
My worst nightmare has come true. The Rock thinks I wanted to insult him. I am scum. https://t.co/hlZ3oknRZm

But not to worry, because this interaction is a gem:
I’m playing a dangerous game hoping @TheRock gets my zany sense of humour and doesn’t just have me killed.
— Ben Pobjie (@benpobjie) October 22, 2017
Haha I just hit you back. Yes, I not only got the zany but appreciated it as well.

Sir you are a gentleman and an artist.
