During a recent appearance on Z93…The Rock Station!, WWE Superstar Bronson Reed commented on his MF DOOM-inspired gear that he wore at Crown Jewel 2024.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his MF-DOOM-inspired gear: “I’m a huge hip-hop fan. I sort of like to bleed in, like things that I like within my everyday life, like pop culture and stuff into my wrestling. You’re right, having attire can be sort of a representation of that. I have a friend back home who’s an artist in Australia, and he designs all my singlets. I said, ‘Let’s do an MF DOOM one.’ He made it MF Reed, and it was Operation DOOMsday for Seth Rollins. So it was very cool.”
On his gear ideas for Royal Rumble and WrestleMania: “I do. I actually have a few [gear ideas he’s working on]. I have one already ready for Royal Rumble. I’m sort of thinking about ‘Mania gear as well. But I don’t want to spoil anything. I like these things to be a surprise.”
During a recent interview with GQ, The Rock commented on his relationship with his father, Rocky Johnson.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On having his father on the road all of the time: “It was tough love with him. Very little patience with s**t. And he came up in an era where he had to fight for everything. [He was a] Black pro wrestler at that time in the ’60s and ’70s, mainly throughout the South.”
On how Johnson raised him: “[He] raised me with a tough hand. [He] didn’t beat my ass or anything like that, but just our bonding was — at a very young age — ‘You could come to the gym with me at five and six years old, but you just gotta sit.’ So I sat in the gym and just watched him and his wrestler workout buddies work out.”
On Rocky being kicked out of his home at 13 as his mother sided with her alcoholic boyfriend over her son: “That’s a hard place to come back from. That will inform how you love people and what you care for in life and how you care about people. So it was really f***ed up — that really damaged my dad. So his limited capacity to love is what raised me.”
On the impact of his father’s death on him: “We still had a contentious kind of complicated relationship when he was alive. He dies suddenly four years ago, and you don’t get a chance to say goodbye, you don’t get a chance to right the s**t that you want to [make] right. … You look at things differently.”
