Jim Ross talked about the King of the Ring 2000 event on the latest episode of the Grilling JR podcast. During the episode, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about how this was around the period that The Rock started to make the transition from a full-time wrestler to an actor. 

Here is what he had to say: 

“Of course,” Ross said. “Even though Rock is still a fan and loves that live reaction with the audience, he could not turn his back on that career. He made the right decision. He’s marketed himself and he’s built his own brand. We didn’t know how long he was going to be around but we knew The Rock was never going to be the guy who was just going to bolt on you.”

“We knew his schedule and we knew how to plan [around it],” JR stated. “We were going to use every date that we could for as long as we could until he departed to make these movies. We didn’t know how many movies he was going to have but you didn’t need to be a movie critic to figure out this son of a b—- is a star.”
