Dwayne ‘The Rock’ John­son has­n’t respond­ed to inter­view offers from fel­low WWE leg­end ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.

The two super­stars are two of the biggest in wrestling his­to­ry, and while The Rock has gone onto become a action hero, his for­mer on-screen rival keeps fans delight­ed with his Straight Up Steve Austin and Bro­ken Skull Ses­sions series.

See­ing Stone Cold sat across from his con­tem­po­rary to dis­cuss their sto­ried careers would make for fan­tas­tic tele­vi­sion, but sad­ly Dwayne – or per­haps just his team – haven’t found time in his hec­tic sched­ule yet.

Speak­ing to Bleach­er , Austin said: ‘We’ve extend­ed an offer on Bro­ken Skull Ses­sions, we’ve extend­ed an invite to Straight Up Steve Austin on mul­ti­ple occa­sions.

‘Like you just said, he’s one of the busiest human beings on the plan­et. We have a past and a shared broth­er­hood and a chem­istry from all of our mem­o­ries in the ring with each oth­er. Maybe one day, hope­ful­ly. I would for that to hap­pen.’

How­ev­er, Stone Cold has been quick to point out he’s not try­ing to ‘put pres­sure’ on The Rock in the hopes of land­ing the dream inter­view.

He told Fox Sports’ Ryan Satin: ‘I just will say we’ve extend­ed the invite from way back. So, we’d love to have him. Every­body knows he’s super busy.

‘But, yeah, we’d love to have him as well. And that’s not throw­ing that out there to put pres­sure on him, because I know he’s busy! But, yes, we have asked … We’ll see.’

Mean­while, Austin has also com­ment­ed on his cur­rent career, and hw he has no plans to return to the ring.

‘It’s great to be known for some­thing oth­er than wrestling and I’m proud of my wrestling career, but as I’ve said many, many times, I’ve moved on from that and have left some last­ing mem­o­ries on so many peo­ple who sup­port­ed me for so long,’ he added to BR.

‘They got to live vic­ar­i­ous­ly through those sto­ry­lines, but it’s 2021 right now and that’s where I’m liv­ing and that’s where my head­’s at.

‘I appre­ci­ate the mem­o­ries, but yeah, I’m super-stoked [some peo­ple] know me more from my recent stuff.’
