During the interview, Jenna Ben asked him, “Please tell me you made some money off letting The Rock use The Rock?”

Responding to this, Shamrock stated, “You know what, man? The Rock came up and started using it. Nobody even knew the issue at all. I didn’t because I was never kind of — I never liked that, right? Just like when they came up with the dolls that had the lion skin on it with the shorts on it, I owned that.”

“They never asked me to do that. They didn’t ask to do that, so, therefore, I own that, so I could’ve gotten all that too, but you know what? I was fine with where I was at. It didn’t matter.”
