A lot of wrestling fans needed a stiff drink after seeing The Rock and John Cena go over 30 minutes at WrestleMania XXVIII. The following year, it was both wrestlers who fancied a little nip after having a much better rematch at 'Mania 29. That was fine by Rocky, but he wasn't expecting what Cena had in mind.

Speaking during a Q&A session as part of the LA Lakers' Genius Talks, The Rock laughed as he recalled sitting in the doctor's room post-match nursing his injuries. That's when "Big Match John" burst in with the moonshine.

That is not a joke. According to Dwayne Johnson, Cena handed him an actual jar full of what he could only describe as "some crazy white-boy sh*t." Whether he was reeling from the fact his co-worker actually drank that sort of stuff or not, Rock fancied a swig.

To recap: minutes after he was raising Cena's hand in front of over 80,000 people in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, The Rock sat backstage with his peer and sipped on some moonshine. Can't make it up.
