Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has long been known for his verbal spats and legendary insults. The People’s Champ can talk smack like no one else in the wrestling ring or on the big screen. But when Rocky boy stepped up to the plate on Twitter this Wednesday, the Hollywood star struck out. The Rock tried to tell some Twitter user what to do, and that guy hit back with a Tweet that put Dwayne in his place.
But who brought the heat to the Brahma Bull on Twitter? That impressive feat goes to the Olly Gibbs, a designer at Empire Magazine, who showed The People’s champ who’s boss. This beef began when Gibbs sent out a Tweet noting the similarities between the upcoming Jumanji sequel and the 2003 film The Rundown. What’s the similarity. Well, they shared the same exact tagline of “Welcome to the Jungle.”
This evoked the wrath of The Rock…
Now why does the new Jumanji film featuring @TheRock sound and look familiar?… 🤔 pic.twitter.com/INzwYXx3ES

The Rock hit back on Twitter, even going as far as to question Gibb’s manhood for his use of a “non-masculine emoji.” The People’s Champ tweeted, “Haha buddy, juuuuust see the movie first then make the comparison. And for f*cks sakes stop using the non masculine 🤔 emoji.”

Olly Gibbs was very quick with the Rundown–Jumanji comparison, as the trailer for this stand-alone sequel came out the very day Gibby boy sent out his Tweet. But is Gibbs quick enough to counter a jab from The Rock? You’d be surprised…
bring on the trailer tomorrow, looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun! RE: Emoji – Is this better for you?… pic.twitter.com/nX1b5HLl20

The Rock just got pwned! Dwayne may be cocky, but even The People’s Champ knows when he has met his match…
Hahah you MF! I'm on set now and this shit got a big belly laugh outta me. Thx. Perfect. Next time I'll wear something with more blue in it

It looks like Olly and The Rock have become legit trash-talking buddies as a result of this encounter.
Haha amazing, glad to hear! I know you're a man of you're word so I'm looking forward to seeing this look brought back…

Still a better love story than Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble…
