About this episode
Whilst Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might be the highest earning actor on the planet, there was one genre it seemed he was never destined to grace: drama. Until now, that is. Having recently acquired shares in UFC's parent company, it makes sense that an MMA-themed movie with DJ at the helm would follow. The surprise came on the revelation that he would be telling the true story of a UFC pioneer, dogged by a life of substance abuse and battles with anxiety. But just how accurate was the Smashing Machine in portraying the life and times of Mark Kerr? Did he really put himself in hospital after an overdose? Was his relationship with Dawn so fractious? And why exactly was he called The Smashing Machine?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
