The Rock turns down Steve Austin? Also, NBA star done with wrestling, and John Cena shoots

- WWE posted the video above of John Cena, The Miz, The Big Show and Booker T undergoing some small arms training at last week’s Tribute to the Troops taping. Booker T noted that it was his first time shooting a gun.

- WWE also posted a video here of Cena sending his support and thanking the troops for all that they do. Cena said that because of their sacrifice, people like himself are able to live their dreams.

- As noted earlier, Steve Austin invited The Rock to appear on his podcast, The Steve Austin Show. WrestlingINC.com reader @Gaurav9Kumar asked Austin about the status of the status of The Rock‘s appearance on his podcast, to which Austin replied, “[The Rock] Never accepted the invite.”

- The Full Court Press has a short article at this link about Dallas Mavericks’ forward Dirk Nowitzki not attending last night’s RAW in Dallas. Nowitzki said that while he was once a big wrestling fan, he has grown out of it.

“I actually went to that a couple of years ago,” Nowitzki said. “When I first got here when we were still at Reunion (Arena), it was fun. I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan and Ultimate Warrior and all that crap. But that’s a long time ago, so I guess I grew out of that.”
