Jamie Jones: What the Rock's cooking smells ... funny?

Here are the notes and news items from the week in pro wrestling: The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) has a new movie, “Journey 2: Mysterious Island,” making its U.S. debut Feb. 10, but The Hollywood Reporter had an advanced screening.

The reviewer wrote Johnson displays an “affable goofiness” (I guess that’s a compliment?), but also believes “a menagerie of outsized fauna is royally upstaged by Dwayne Johnson’s dancing man-boobs.”

• The Big Show has a big back. So when he tweaks that big back — like he did during Tuesday night’s “Smackdown” television taping — it could spell bad news.

The severity of his injury isn’t known.

• The Huffington Post reported Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda Bollea, and her 23-year-old fiancé recently wrapped up filming for the VH1 reality show “Couples Therapy.”

The Local Corner: The TWA Action Zone presents “Revenge” on Saturday night, featuring the main event of Ray Fury vs. Da Bill in a baton on a pole/no holds barred title match.

In matches last Saturday night: Honor & Respect defeated The Playmakers in a tag title tournament match; The Green House topped Tiffany, Wandy da Wrestler and Ricochet; Da Bill outlasted Josh Vaughn with help from Toy Dodson; HCP 2.0 downed Spades and Robert Starr in tag action; Alex Summers and Will Force went to a no contest when HCP 2.0 attacked Summers; Ray Fury won by disqualification over Dodson after interference from Da Bill which lead to a locker room clearing brawl.

TWA Friday Night Brawl runs at 8 p.m. at the TWA Arena off Reed Road in north Whitfield County, about three miles north of the bypass. The TWA Action Zone runs at 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets for all shows are $5 for adults and $3 for ages 6 to 12; senior citizens 60 years and older with proof of age will be admitted for $3. Kids younger than 6 are admitted free. Any military member with proper identification will be admitted free. If it’s your birthday, you will be admitted free.

Trivia Teaser: Which wrestler is most famous for his finishing move, “The Iron Claw”?

Last week’s question: What was the name of the tag team formed by Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard in WWE?

Check back next week for the answer.
