MORE ON THE ROCK'S INJURY

By Dave Scherer on 2013-04-08 20:36:44

Mike Johnson sent this at 7:42 before Raw started.  I was at the gym so it went up late.  I wanted Scoops to get the props he deserves!

The Rock went home abruptly after WrestleMania after being told he had torn abductor and abdominal muscles.   He immediately went home to get treatment as he has to start filming his Hercules movie shortly.

Most within WWE were not aware of the circumstances for him leaving and there was heat on him initially.  That has dissipated, although there was grumbling among some wrestlers that if they can work hurt, Rock could have at least cut a promo.  Obviously, they don't understand the machine Rock is in Hollywood.

WWE was not informed until well into the afternoon, requiring massive rewrites to Raw and all the insanity that goes along with that.
