Kofi Kingston – The Rock’s Not Mentoring Me

AZCentral.com has an article online promoting Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The piece, titled “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson mentors WWE’s Kofi Kingston,” features quotes from Kofi Kingston… but he’s not happy about it.

When asked about The Rock’s return, Kofi was quoted as to saying:

“I met him when he first came back last year. He’s real cool. He had some advice for me, I had a chance to pick his brain a bit … I spoke to him about certain things about the business, just general questions about how he got to where he was. Obviously you see a guy like The Rock, you see his success, you want to know exactly – from his mind and his mouth – how he got there, because I want to emulate that. If you don’t want the success The Rock has had, then you probably shouldn’t be in the WWE.”

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion wrote the following on Twitter about the article:

Ah, nothing like exaggeration in the media! Tell em that you received a piece of career advice, they print you’re being mentored!

As honored as I would be were that the case, i must say, regrettably, it’s untrue!
