The cosmetic surgery that The Rock underwent
For many years it was a secret, but then it was learned from the gladiator himself that The Rock had undergone cosmetic surgery there in 1999 and recently the issue has come to light again, surely because it is a data very unknown to his millions of fans in the fight and in the cinema.
Who brings up this curious fact is Bruce Prichard, the renowned ex-manager and former WWE producer who played Brother Love, who on his podcast called “Something to Wrestle” told the story.
Recall that he recently gave his version of the truth after the creation of the name of The Rock, although later he was upset by Vince Russo:
The cosmetic surgery that The Rock underwent
“The Rock looked great, but he wanted perfection. That was the reason why he decided to undergo cosmetic surgery on his pecs in 1999, during the time he was wearing a sports shirt in the ring.
“I think he probably had a conversation with Vince, but he also talked to a few of us [the producers]. Going through that surgery was his decision, it was elective surgery, and it wasn't something that was necessary and it was something that he could wrestle with. So it was something that he wanted to do and that he wanted so badly, to be able to give more power to his image. "
Added to this, Prichard said that "The Rock" continued to fight during his recovery and only used the sports jacket or suit to hide the bandages while he recovered from his surgery.
In the past Dwayne Johnson had already referred to this fact, but the specific surgical procedure has never been revealed, although in forums related to fat burning and muscle building they speculate that the surgery was done to eliminate gynecomastia, which is the A condition in which men's breast tissue swells or grows, making it look like female breasts.
