EDIT: When I first posted this I didn't realize the Rock and "The People's Champ" association. Because of this, I didn't realize it was a joke. Please disregard this post...
Is this really necessary?

I think he was going for the joke there? But don't take my word for it, I'm a beard. Social cues aren't exactly my forte
I'm not sure if it's good or bad that I just kinda accepted this as a normal thing around here. Didn't even think twice about it.

Was wondering if this would pop up. Decided to go for it anyway
I'm just gonna leave that one alone....
This just proves what I said in my original post
If you look at the rest of his feed he meant it as a good thing/ joke. Dont make a story where there isnt one
and....Dwayne Lawson is a QB. Duwayne Johnson is a DB.
Is what necessary? you mean that Byrn isn't allowed to tweet? or you mean he isn't allowed to make a joke, albeit with the wrong guy?
he can do whatever he wants to do
Are you sure it wasn't a QB joke, a la our TE jokes?
The level of missed jokes today is rather high.
Today?
Since of us have a distinct inability to laugh at oneself
Seriously guys? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was known as "The People's Champ." It's a joke people, c'mon, laugh a little. This isn't a story.
Side note: Anyone remember when The Rock was "The Corporate Champ?" Sad, sad times indeed.
Sure do. How about this great tag team?
Going way back - Rocky Maivia and the Nation of Domination
You brought The Rock from the early days, now here's the early days of The Sock, aka Dude Love!
Thats not his original....
Dude is batshit crazy, and that has nothing to do with his MPD storyline. The bumps he took over his career were suicidal.
I'm surprised he didn't die in some of those Hell in a Cell matches
The one with Triple H, where he scattered a bag of thumbtacks all over the canvas halfway through the match then took a Pedigree into them, after the match he and Paul were backstage in the locker room, and Mick started picking thumbtacks out of his face. He looked at Paul and said, "When the hell did we use thumbtacks?"
His brain was just gone.
I'll never forget the I quit match with the Rock, when he look like eighteen chair shots to the head while handcuffed. WWE was walking the line between sports entertainment and torture porn during that era.
Or the one where he took the choke slam from the Undertaker on top of the cell. If I remember correctly, the cell wasn't supposed to give way like it did that evening.
You remember correctly indeed. It wasn't, and Undertaker is reported as having thought Mick was actually dead.
Yeah I think I saw in a special that Foley finished that match with a few cracked vertebrae or something like that.
Undertaker paced the top of the cage for a LONG time after Mick dropped, and the look on his face was like, ohhhhh shit.
I didn't say it was his first, just one of the early ones. Plus I was having a mental picture of the Rock and Sock connection tag team if it had been earlier and been the Rocky/Love connection. Yikes!
Flex Kavana wins the Throwback Award.
I still remember watching "Rocky Maivia's" debut in a Survivor Series elimination tag match back in 1996.
Mankind was a sick dude.
Byrn also followed up the multitude of replies he received correcting him that Dwayne Lawson is a QB and Dwayne Johnson is a CB with, "haha oops, my bad. We should find any hs db in the country named Steve Austin and sign him. Imagine that DBU". Now this ^^^ is funny.
Mick Foley was a sick dude that apparently likes to cheat during wing eating contests...lol
And he now has a half an ear.
Ric Flair used to call Mick Foley "a glorified stuntman". Then I think they had a match and Flair said he was a real wrestler after that. I think Flair was closer to right the first time.
For us Dwayne Johnson was high school or college fodder, for recruits now he was their Hulk Hogan or Ravishing Rick Rude.
Oh! It's a wrestling joke! I get it.....
I head The Rock likes pie...............
