Whilst shooting a scene for WWE's Paige biopic 'Fighting with my Family', The Rock sent the company's higher-ups absolutely batty when he responded to fans chanting CM Punk but whipping out a cell-phone and giving the man in question a call.

Had Punk picked up whilst The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment was live in the Staples Center, it would have sent the wrestling community haywire. But he didn't. Why? Did he simply not want to be associated with WWE?

It's much simpler than that: he tells Mike Johnson he was in an elevator at the time, taking his dog Larry out for a walk. When he got a barrel-load of texts telling him to answer, Punk assumed somebody must have died. Nope: it was just The bloody Rock.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
