The Rock appeared on Oprah Winfrey's 'SuperSoul Conversations' podcast and told the host about one WWE moment that broke his heart just a few years into his career.

Growing up, Rocky had always dreamed about owning a real Rolex watch because he thought that was a beacon of success and would impress everyone. By 1999, he had the money to make it happen and decided to splash some cash on a flashy timepiece that'd catch attention.

Then, he made the mistake of wearing it in-ring for a promo segment.

Mid-brawl, The Rock looked on in horror as the watch slipped off his wrist, fell to the canvas and then got smashed up. He recalls forgetting all about the booking for that skit and almost bursting into tears about his broken Rolex.

Backstage, he continued bemoaning what had happened before snapping out of it and realising that, "this is a sign, I don't need it". Still, Rocky couldn't help but think about all the money he'd wasted on what was now a twisted shell of glass and metal.

Lesson learned. Never wear a Rolex inside the ring.
