| Dwayne Johnson, The Rock |
WWE's
fights may be fake, but the injuries? All too real. Case in point: Dwayne
"The Rock" Johnson announced on Twitter recently that he would
undergo surgery to repair damage sustained during his WrestleMania clash with John
Cena earlier this month.
UPDATE: Johnson's rep tells E! that the star had an emergency hernia operation on Monday,
April 22, forcing him to miss the Hollywood premiere of his new movie, Pain
& Gain. He is now recovering at home.
One
day before the procedure, the pro wrestler turned movie star tweeted: "Saw my Dr
who had to push my intestines back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic.
Surgery is next week. #BringItOn."
According
to WWE.com, Johnson, 40, met Cena in the ring on April 7,
during a WWE Title defense match for WrestleMania 29. As a result of the
confrontation, he suffered a fairly serious injury to his midsection.
"In
the middle of last night's Wrestlemania match I tore my abdomen & abductor
muscles off the bone. Just part of the job," the People's Champion tweeted
April 8. "But as we know...It's all about #JustBringIt. WWE Universe,
THANK YOU for all the love & well wishes. Means everything to me.
#LeaveItAllInTheRing."
"My
drs said that starting back training w/ torn abdominals would be a bitch. Just
found out they were right. We gotta push thru…" he added a few days later.
And then, on April 13: "Drs & I elected not to reattach tendons to my
pelvis. They'll just scar up."
