Both inside and outside of a wrestling ring, when was the last time you can honestly remember seeing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson getting his ass royally whooped?

When it comes to the big screen, at least, 'The Great One' tendency to come out on top more often than not is no accident, though.

As revealed in a Wall Street Journal report, anyone tasked with fighting Johnson in a scene in the Fast & Furious franchise isn't allowed to look like they've defeated 'The People's Champion' thanks to rules in his contract that limit the amount of punishment his character endures in a throw-down. 

The likes of Jason Statham and Vin Diesel, both Johnson's co-stars in the series, have similar demands in their own contracts, making any scene involving these performers clashing with each other a bit of a choreography headache for the filmmakers.

It's not entirely clear whether Johnson still has this particular "no-lose" rule in his contracts when appearing in movies outside of the Fast universe, too. But if he does, that would mean that all of his co-stars are technically banned from laying the smackdown on this WWE legend.
