11 Candy Asses Who Have Felt the Wrath of The Rock

Dwayne Johnson is never afraid to lay the smackdown on anyone's candy ass. That much was made clear when he called out Vin Diesel  (although not by name) for the actor's inappropriate and pompous behavior on the set of Fast 8. Some fans were taken aback by Johnson's harsh words, but they really shouldn't have been. Previously known as The Rock during his WWE days, Johnson has been at the center of many feuds over the years. Here's a rundown of the most memorable back-and-forths: 1. Vin Diesel This marks Johnson’s first real feud since he became an actor. Those on the set of Fast 8 confirm that Johnson was nothing but professional during filming while Diesel walked around with an arrogant attitude, often showing up late to set. Johnson called him out on it. 2. Ken Shamrock The Rock and Ken Shamrock debuted in the WWE during the Attitude Era, feuding early on over the Intercontinental belt. Shamrock finally defeated Rock in the 1998 King of the Ring finals. 3. Degeneration X As a member of the Nation of Domination (as Rocky Maivia), The Rock ousted Faarooq as the leader and began a feud with DX. Triple H and Rock then participated in one of the most brutal ladder matches of all time. 4. The Big Show The Rock started his feud with Big Show at Royal Rumble 2000 when they were the final two competitors. There was controversy over the ending, which led to these two doing battle against at No Way Out. Eventually, the pay-off was a four way for the title at Wrestlemania. 5. The Undertaker These two feuded numerous times. It all started when Johnson was exiled from the Corporation and it culminated in 2002 when The Rock beat Undertake and Kurt Angle in a three way at WWE Vengeance. 6. Booker T Booker T was the WCW Champion when he started using the Book End (Rock Bottom, basically) as his Finishing Move. At Summerslam, The Rock beat Booker after a Rock Bottom to win the WCW Championship. Booker would receive a rematch in a form of a handicap match (teaming with Shane McMahon) at Unforgiven 2001.

Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon Says Rock The Bells Tour ‘Concept Is Great’

‘We never sung the whole album,’ Raekwon says of performing entire Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) debut. By Shaheem Reid Raekwon Photo: Universal This summer, the Wu-Tang Clan return to headline the heralded Rock the Bells Tour . But unlike the Killer Bees’ previous stage ventures for the annual outing, the Clan’s set will have a twist. The group will perform their classic debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) — in its entirety. “We never did that before,” Raekwon the Chef told Mixtape Daily last week. “We never sung the whole album, the 36 Chambers. “That’s gonna be interesting to see these cats do some of the records that really bust hip-hop’s cherry open,” Rae said. “I can’t wait to see this because I never seen it like that before. The concept is great. It gives fans the opportunity to go back and rewrite their history, go back and check it out, see what made dudes who they are. … This [tour] is gonna allow races to come together and have fun for one night. This is gonna be the event of events. This is gonna be the Royal Rumble of hip-hop. I’m sure that everybody is gonna come out and represent this. It’s gonna be right. I can’t wait.” Rae said every time he gets to perform among the legends that Rock the Bells welcomes onto its treks, he feels another year younger. “It’s always good to get out there with my brothers. We going to get money, pay them bills, take care of them kids. Then getting back in front of them fans again and giving them what they want,” the
