On press junkets I rarely get to speak this candidly & reflective on life’s experiences - successes and more importantly, my failures. This interview was a nice and unexpected energetic shift during my @HobbsAndShaw junket. Thanks @sportbible we’ll do it again down the road. DJ https://t.co/Eir5nhOZdm

Well but somewhere deep down we feel the wrestler was definitely meant for something much bigger and better, hence Dwayne routing himself to the entertainment business is the best thing happened to the industry and gift for the viewers.
