“Pain & Gain” Director Michael Bay has caught quite a bit of flack from wrestling fans over comments that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson needs to “grow up and stop wrestling 300 pound men.” Bay responded to the criticism on his website by saying:
“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.”

We noted before that The Rock revealed he suffered a torn hamstring in the WrestleMania 28 match against John Cena.
Regarding the injury, it was reportedly just a partial tear of the hamstring and not a full tear. Rock rehabbed the injury while filming Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain. A source says that Rock was limping backstage after the Cena match but not enough to cause alarm or get anyone to talking.
