Video of Michael Bay asking The Rock to "Grow Up"
After getting injured from his WrestleMania 29 match against John Cena, film Director Micheal Bay would make some comments asking The Rock to "grow up" and "stop wresting 300-pound men". If you didn't catch the video of him saying that, well here is your chance. (Editor's note: As you can see, Bay was clearly joking around. He would later say "Wrestling fans, it was a joke said on Entertainment Tonight--with a laugh. You can see the clip for yourselves. The most important person to see the on-air joke was Dwayne. I love seeing The Rock wrestle. I hope he wrestles 10 more years. I joked on air because Dwayne was not at our LA premiere due to his injury." So that's that.)
