[News Update] The Rock Talks About Retirement

During an interview with the Houston Chronicle talking about his new Disney film "The Game Plan", Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reiterated that he is completely done with professional wrestling. When asked about the business, he said, "My grandfather (Peter Maivia) and father (Rocky Johnson) wrestled. I grew up with wrestling. But wrestling was something where I always wanted to keep growing. I had the opportunity to wrestle with the best - Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Steve Austin, Undertaker and Bill Goldberg. But once I wrestled all the guys I wanted to wrestle, I realized that I couldn't grow any more with wrestling. The reason people still ask if I'm coming back is because I never made a big production of my retirement like a lot of guys do. I just wanted to quietly get out. I quietly walked away."

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway said in a telephone interview with LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com, "There is no doubt that the Rock is a legend and he will be a part of Legends Championship Wrestling in the future. However, at the moment we're featuring legends from the 70s and 80s, but we'd like to feature the Rock for special occasions like SuperClash."

Calaway and The Rock first met at the LCW Uprising 2007 (lcwuprising.com) pay-per-view and battled each other at the LCW SuperClash 2007 (lcwsuperclash.com) pay-per-view on July 1st.
