It’s rare that Twitter exchanges start out with someone telling another person to go ef themselves but after everyone talks it out, they put it down to just a misunderstanding.
Fortunately, that is just what happened when tweeter Ben Pobije butted heads with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson last weekend. Mashable first noted the exchange, which kicked off when Dwayne tweeted about the return of wrestler Kurt Angle and congratulated the WWE star:
Congrats to my good bud @RealKurtAngle and his return tonight to a @WWE ring. Special athlete and great human being. Have FUN brotha #WWETLC
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) October 22, 2017
This prompted Ben Pobije to 'break the news':
Dwayne, wrestling isn't real. It's time you knew. https://t.co/3iqKjHfNAn
— Ben Pobjie (@benpobjie) October 22, 2017
Johnson responded jokingly, but a little aggressively:
😂 ðŸ'Â?ðŸÂ?¾ I like the dry wit
Correct, I do in fact know wrestling isn’t real. Thats why I said “have fun”. I also know, you can go fuck yourself.— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) October 22, 2017
Ben was quick to point out that the tweet was made in jest and their next few exchanges were actually quite wholesome:
My worst nightmare has come true. The Rock thinks I wanted to insult him. I am scum. https://t.co/hlZ3oknRZm

I'm playing a dangerous game hoping @TheRock gets my zany sense of humour and doesn't just have me killed.

Haha I just hit you back. Yes, I not only got the zany but appreciated it as well. 🙌ðŸÂ?¾

Sir you are a gentleman and an artist.

And there are so few of us left ðŸ'ŠðŸÂ?¾

So nice when we all get along.
