So Mavely, I know you are an actor and you’re an arm wrestler. And the picture that Korean George just showed me. Uh, you look like a badass and your arm looks crazy big. I don’t know I would win, but I am happy to try an arm wrestle you.
Johnson has an astounding career in the WWE. The legendary star made his debut in the company in the flagship show, Monday Night Raw as a member of Marc Mero’s entourage on November 4, 1996. He has been unstoppable ever since.

I’ve been big fan of you since your wrestling games. The Rock!! Yes.”
I look forward to seeing The Rock save the day again in Rampage this time. That’s for the shout-out. And It’s gonna be great to arm wrestle real champion like you someday. But it’s gonna happen soon cause I’m getting little old now. Uh, by the way, I had many injuries and several surgeries before. And I’m still hanging in there, keep of fighting just like you. I wish you stay healthy and strong just like now. I Can’t wait to see you kick ass more in many more years to come.
It is unclear if the duo had actually been involved in the arm-wrestling game as both the actors have been busy with several projects lined up. AfterEternals, Dong-seok appeared in the South Korean action drama The Roundup: No Way Out which has a stunning 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
