[Misc News] The March issue of Giant Magazine features former WWE star “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson on the cover. In the article, “Dwayne Johnson: Metamorphic”, he discusses everything from growing up in a wrestling family to his now thriving movie career. In addition, he credits wrestling and the WWE with providing him a unique lesson in the art of performing. He tells Giant Magazine, “Wrestling gave me the platform to entertain crowds of twenty, thirty, forty, fifty thousand people. The experience was invaluable. ..We played Madison Square Garden every month and a half, one little stage. That was my theater, and what a learning experience it was.” The magazine, now available on newsstands, features 9 full-page pictures of “The Rock”. In addition, Giant Magazine’s website features an excerpt from the article along with an exclusive photo album.
