The Rock was happy to ride with various WWE Superstars throughout his illustrious career, as long as they aren’t smoking marijuana in the car like The Godfather.
WWE Hall of Famer, The Godfather, was recently a guest on the Such Good Shoot podcast where he told the hilarious story about The Rock breaking the news to him that they couldn’t ride together anymore:
“One day Rocky came to me and said, ‘Hey, Papa, I can’t ride with you no more,’” The Godfather said. “I’m like, ‘What do you mean you can’t ride with me no f–king more?’ He goes, ‘Bruh, everywhere I go I smell like weed and I’m telling people I don’t smell like weed. And then the next time they see me, they say every time I see you you say you don’t smell like weed, but you smell like weed!’”
The Godfather wasn’t willing to give up smoking marijuana to keep The Rock as a travel partner, and the two men went their separate ways. The Godfather started traveling with the APA (Faarooq and Bradshaw), and The Rock began traveling with D’Lo Brown and Mark Henry:
“As soon as I got in the car, bro, as soon as I got in the f–king car, I’m firing up [smoking] all the way to the building, you know,” The Godfather added. “And so, bro, I’m not gonna stop smoking, so that’s when I started riding with Ron [Simmons] and John [Bradshaw Layfield], The Acolytes, and then him [The Rock], D’Lo and Mark Henry started riding together.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
