As WrestleMania 40 takes over the city this weekend, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wasted no time in making fun of Philadelphians and quarterback Jalen Hurts.
.
The Rock arrived at WWE World at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Thursday to jeers from the audience almost two hours late.
“What do you object to? Is the reason behind your jeers that The Rock was meant to arrive at 4 o’clock? The Rock enquired.
The Rock then made some remarks that the Delaware Valley’s Eagles supporters are probably not going to like.
“[The Rock] was watching YouTube, watching Jalen Hurts lose in the playoffs again,” he stated. “You boo, it’s the real deal. Now that The Rock has appeared, you are in front of grandeur; you simply stand there, keep your mouth shut, and take pleasure in the journey that The Rock is preparing.”
This past season, the Eagles and Hurts did indeed come up short in the NFL playoffs after a Super Bowl appearance the previous season.
Hurts and the Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 32-9, in the wild card round of the playoffs in January and ended the season losing six of their final seven games.
WrestleMania events kicked off in Philly Thursday with WWE World at the Convention Center. WWE World included discussions with WWE Stars, a gaming tournament, live podcast recordings and a chance to meet WWE wrestlers.
CBS Philadelphia has everything you need to know about WrestleMania this weekend in Philadelphia. Lil Wayne will also make an appearance to debut a new single.
