Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson greets NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger backstage at the 2007 ESPY Awards at the Kodak Theatre on July 11, 2007 in Hollywood, California.
From an ESPN article about the event:
Will "The Rock" suplex Big Ben?
Handlers are spreading the word to press members that Dwayne Johnson should not be referred to as "The Rock." Not getting the memo: Ben Roethlisberger, who greeted the former pro wrestler backstage.
"I never wanted to say, from this day forward, I will be 'Dwayne Johnson, The Actor,'" Johnson said earlier. "If there's some action movie with guns and ass-kicking, and they want to call me 'The Rock,' that's cool."
"Whatever doesn't get me beat up," Roethlisberger said later.
