The Rock quoted the tweet and expressed, "I typically refrain from responding to toxic, false clickbait garbage like this because I hate dignifying bullshit with a response, but when you use Hawaii’s tragic events to draw attention to yourself I won’t stay quiet."
The Brahma Bull first explained why people at the WWE Press Conference were booing him. He said he turned “Heel” bad guy. He then explained what the term heel means in the world of professional wrestling.
“Heel is wrestling parlance for bad guy. I’m playing it up with our crowd as they boo. It’s what we do in our WWE universe, and we all love every second of it. “
After revealing the real reason behind people booing him he revealed about Hawaii tragedy funds.
“Our People’s Fund of Maui has already DELIVERED over $50 MILLION to over 8,000 survivors who were affected by the fires, and I’m grateful to the bone that we’ve been the primary funders.”
He further explained his connection with Hawaii how he grew there and spent most of his life there and why that place is close to his heart.
He then took some shots at Nick for spreading hate for engagement. “ Nick, instead of posting bullshit like this that you know is false - I encourage you to post something positive for Hawaii, for our Polynesian American people. Or actually take positive action and come to Hawaii to help out in an uplifting way.”
