One of these events is an exhibition struggle organized to collect funds for charity work. Rock must meet a professional wrestler named Thunderlips, which is explained by Hulk Hogan. At this time he was given by his real name, Terry Bolia.
Presented as an excessive and arrogant colossus of 2 meters, Thunderlips are ready to do everything to make his show. The wrestlers fight against a series of rocky rocky victories, reflecting his growing celebrities and his distance from the “real” rim. After being in a quarrel as violent as a comic, rocky, and thunderstorm, which interferes with the hands, which shows that it was part of the game.
