On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer discussed Dwayne Johnson securing the trademark rights to The Rock name, his appointment to the TKO Board of Directors, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Rock receiving full ownership of his ring name: “Here’s some perspective on ownership of the name. Back in the day when you went through WWE, come up in WWE, no matter what, the minute you put your signature on a WWE contract, they own every last thing about you for the length of that contract. Being able to obtain ownership of The Rock is on par with any band out there being able to do gain control and ownership of their own music, and their own publishing.”
On The Rock vs. Roman Reigns possibly happening: “He [The Rock] will be taking on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He already started with [the comment] ‘Do I eat at the Head of the Table?’ That’s just dropping the one bomb right there. I also don’t think The Rock winning the WWE title is ‘best for business,’ but that match is [best for business].”
