At a kick-off party.

Yeah? Yep.

In Boston, we met at a kick-off party.

And was she interested in you?

No, well the funny story is we started talking,

and then she said, well listen,

it was great to meet you, I'm gonna go.

She was like, it's been great, but we're done here.

Take care of yourself, yes.

Good.

Hooked you. Hooked me.

She hooked me.

Why Dwayne Johnson is called The Rock?

I don't know why.

'Cause I'm quite soft. [laughs]

Why are you called The Rock?

The birth story of The Rock,

is before I do what I do now, many moons ago,

I used to throw around 300 pound men for a living,

and get my ass kicked.

And then my original wrestling name was Rocky Maivia,

which was a combination of my dad's first name

and my grandfather's last name,

because both of them were pro-wrestlers.

So my name became Rock Maivia,

and when it was first pitched to me from Vince McMahon,

he said, I got your name and I want it to be Rocky Maivia.

Now, what do you think?

And as we, he knows me now, and it's how I speak.

I say, I hate it.

I hate it.

And I hated the name.

Did you really? I hated it.

I hated it because-

Why did you hate it?

The lineage I had,

gave me the opportunity to at least knock on the door.

But you wanted your own space.

I wanted my own identity, I wanted my own space.

So while I was very proud to come from who I came from,

with my dad and my grandfather.

And my whole family's in wrestling.

I still wanted my own space.

And so I said, I hate it.

And he said, okay.

Great, well that's your name.

Wow! And I went, okay.

So I embraced it, and I did it.

And that name did not stick.

And eventually, when I became a bad guy,

it got truncated down to The Rock.

And a guy who was my father figure,

and I've talked to you many times about him, Pat Patterson.

Yeah.

Was a mentor of mine in pro-wrestling.

I lost him last year when I lost my dad at the same time,

I lost my father and my father figure in the same year.

And he said, what if we call you The Rock?

He's a French guy, he had a tough French accent.

I said, I love it!

And he goes, okay, you're The Rock.

Love it! And that was it.

Come on, come on, come on.

Can Dwayne Johnson sing?

No! No, he cannot.

What is the deal with The Rock's flabby tummy?

No. What? [laughs]

What is the deal with The Rock's abs?

What's wrong with-

What's wrong with The Rock's abs?

[Dwayne laughing]

That's so [beep] up!

That is [beep] up!

Who wrote that?

What is wrong with them?

There's nothing wrong with them.

No, here's the thing.

Oh god.

I think because on Instagram,

all these Instagram fitness models

have these incredible,

6, 8, 12, 24 pack stomachs. You don't have a six pack?

No, I got like, a five and a half pack.

Okay.

Sometimes a four and half pack.

Okay.

But the problem was, which a lot of people don't know.

I tore, in a wrestling match,

I tore my, the top of my quad off my pelvis.

It went bang in a wrestling match.

And then what that did, that caused a chain reaction,

and it tore my abdomen wall.

So then I had three,

I had to do a triple hernia emergency surgery,

of a tear, a tear, and a tear.

Now they look pretty messed up.

Yeah, so they're not like, perfect abs.

Got it. Yes, so-

You know what, it's not his fault guys.

These [beep] [beep], who are-

It's not his fault. Who are Googling,

What's wrong with The Rock's abs?.

What's wrong with your abs?

Where are your abs, you know?

And the top of my quad popped out of my pelvis.

Guys, we've heard it.

No, and my abductor popped off my pelvis.

And the pain I went through.

You're gonna Google that, now.

You're gonna Google that,

and you're gonna get really- I gotta fix that [beep].

You're gonna get super insecure about it.

[laughs] What had The Rock.

What did The Rock overcome? You have freaked him out.

You have freaked him out, now.

This is gonna keep you up at night.
