Wanna know what’s a bad idea?

Telling a wrestler wrestling isn’t real. Why? Because you’ll probably get choke slammed in return.

And which wrestler do we specifically avoid dissing? That’s right, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Even though ‘The Rock’ has moved over to Hollywood, he still keeps track of his old career.

He recently tweeted for his fellow wrestler Kurt Angle.

Congrats to my good bud @RealKurtAngle and his return tonight to a @WWE ring. Special athlete and great human being. Have FUN brotha #WWETLC

Everything was happy until Ben Pobjie decided to break the news to the ex-wrestler.

Dwayne, wrestling isn’t real. It’s time you knew. https://t.co/3iqKjHfNAn

And in reply, Dwayne went from 0 to 100 real quick.

? ?? I like the dry wit
Correct, I do in fact know wrestling isn’t real. Thats why I said “have fun”. I also know, you can go fuck yourself.

And of course, regret hit Ben.

My worst nightmare has come true. The Rock thinks I wanted to insult him. I am scum. https://t.co/hlZ3oknRZm

He tried desperately to cover himself up.

I’m playing a dangerous game hoping @TheRock gets my zany sense of humour and doesn’t just have me killed.

— Ben Pobjie (@benpobjie) October 22, 2017

The Rock is a good sport. And he proved that with his reply:

Haha I just hit you back. Yes, I not only got the zany but appreciated it as well. ??

Ben was successful in saving himself and sealed it with a compliment.

Sir you are a gentleman and an artist.

And there are so few of us left ??

And he confirmed it with his bio!

Ben later shared with Mashable, “Admittedly, I’d be a bit bummed out if it hadn’t turned out he was saying it with good humour — not because I don’t want to be told to go fuck myself, but because I love The Rock and I didn’t want him to think I was having a go at him. The go-fuck-yourself-telling itself was a real buzz!”
