The Rock recently did an interview with "Moviefone" where he discussed the movie "The Wrestler" and his thoughts on it. Here is an excerpt from that interview: "I thought that the movie…was real and memorable. That world…it’s a very visceral, authentic world that [director Darren Aronofsky] created and I can’t say enough great things about the movie. My uncle actually trained Mickey and he would call me weekly and give me progress reports. [He] was amazed at…his desire to do everything. That takes commitment."
