The Rock Vs. Vin Diesel At WrestleMania 33?

Recent rumors suggest their public feud is all an angle.

As we've seen in the media lately, Vin Diesel and The Rock aren't getting along that well. It started with The Great One taking a veiled shot at some people on Fast 8 who were being "candy asses."

It was a strange thing to put out in the open, and it got people wondering who he was referring to. It was later revealed that one of those asses was his co-star Vin Diesel. The two reportedly tried to patch things up in a meeting, but failed to work things out.

Now, "an insider" has told Life and Style Magazine that their entire public feud is a work and is setting up an angle, and a match at WrestleMania. With Fast 8 set for release in April, the timing certainly matches up.

Of course, the celebrity dream match with The Rock would be Batista, as obviously he's an actual wrestler but Diesel certainly would lend big mainstream buzz for WrestleMania 33.

At 49-years old, and with no wrestling experience in the ring, Diesel would likely deliver a disaster from a technical standpoint, though he would help deliver quite the spectacle. It also remains to be seen if whichever movie studio the two will be working for at that point will want them to risk their bodies in a match.

No matter what, their "feud" certainly became more interesting, and we should soon know if it's actually leading somewhere.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
