By Raj Giri

- While promoting San Andreas recently, which you can watch above, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was asked about rising UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Rock talked about McGregor challenging Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight championship at UFC 189, and talked about how McGregor reminded him of himself back in the day.

"What I love about Conor is the same thing I love, by the way, about Aldo, with Aldo there's a quiet confidence and with Conor the confidence is not quiet. It reminds me of how I was in the WWE," Johnson said. "I was bold and talking s–t, and there was nothing that I wouldn't say. Obviously in WWE it's a work and it's not real and we knew who was going to win and lose, but I would do everything I could just in terms of what could I do to create interest. Conor's a smart guy like that. He creates great interest. But it's not, by the way, bulls–t. He backs up up."

- As noted earlier, The Daily Mail posted an article today with photos from the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, which began filming in New York. Sheamus will be appearing in the movie as Rocksteady. You can check out a photo of The Celtic Warrior on set here.

While Sheamus has not confirmed his involvement in the movie, he did tweet the photo below of himself with cast members Gary Anthony Williams ( who is playing Bebop) and Brian Tee (who is playing Shredder).
