Highlights From The Rock’s #ROCKTALK

The Rock took to social media on Friday to have a Q&A with fans ahead of the debut of his new show, Wake Up Call, on TNT. The Rock describes the show as follows: “No cash prize at the end and no one gets voted off. Just good people who are down on their luck and need a helping hand. Wanted to create a TV show where real change can happen – if you’re willing to put in the work.”

We’ve cobbled together a few highlights from #ROCKTALK below, and if you liked the premier of the show, check out an all-new episode this Friday night.

Dude tears are good. #NoShame
RT: @GottaLoveVamps1: Rock is making men cry. Not by beating them up!! Just by making them watch #WakeUpCall

Getting fired w/ $7 bucks in my pocket in '95. That failure led to my success. Hard times but we get thru it. #ROCKTALK @MobashirMir

My fav moment at the U was when we became National Champs. Set that goal and worked our asses off to get it. #ROCKTALK #TheUBaby @GotTuna66

Hardest part in making #WakeUpCall was meeting people at their lowest times. The best part was to see them overcome. #ROCKTALK @ohnelli84

My advice to an 18yr old is you're just getting started. Keep your f*ck ups to a minimum, be kind and outwork em all. #ROCKTALK @DAITHI28

My #WakeUpCall as a teen was the last time I was arrested (theft ring). Saw my mom's heart break for the last time. Defining time @cee2true

What drives me daily is the shot to just get better. Taken me years to understand the value of that. Fun life lessons;). #ROCKTALK @Masud3M

Keep your head up & keep your faith that things'll get better. We all struggle at one time or another. U aint alone bud. #ROCKTALK @B_Shizz

I've found there is no "magic formula" for success. Stay humble, hungry and outwork everyone (or try to at least;). #ROCKTALK @Matty_1977
