THE ROCK COMMENTS ON THE HULK HOGAN SITUATION

By Mike Johnson on 2015-07-31 08:31:39
While appearing at the Television Critics Panel yesterday to promote his HBO series "Ballers" (which has been picked up for a second season), The Rock was asked about the Hulk Hogan situation.

The Rock commented, "I was pretty disappointed with what I heard, like all of us, by the way. Pretty disappointed, I’ve known Terry for a lot of years, my dad helped train him in Florida in the ’70s when he was breaking into the business…My uncles helped train him too as well. I have not known the man to be racist. It’s funny, it’s one of those things where — and [I’m] not justifying what he said — we’ve all talked trash, especially in private. He said what he said, and he’s paying the price."

Thanks to everyone who sent along the quote.
