The Rock claps back at Aussie comedian

He first made a name for himself inside the WWE wrestling ring, but Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson doesn't need any sass when it comes to the fake sport.

The 45-year-old clapped back and totally owned an Australian comedian Ben Pobjie who tried to throw a little shade The Rock's way.

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

However Ben tried to school the star on the popular, erm, sport, tweeting back: "Dwayne, wrestling isn’t real. It’s time you knew". And if you thought The Rock would be taking any of the author's nonsense you better thing again.

"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 f***k yourself," Dwayne tweeted returning fire.

Ben soon backtracked, no doubt intimidated by the star's massive size tweeting: "I'm playing a dangerous game hoping @TheRock gets my zany sense of humour and doesn't just have me killed."

But it appeared the bants were all in good fun, with Dwayne writing back saying he not only gets "zany" but appreciates it as well.
