The Rock Responds To Report Of "Baywatch" Flopping, Ric Flair On Where "Whoooo" Came From (Video)
- WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair attended his first Indianapolis 500 this weekend. WISH-TV 8 in Indianapolis caught up with Flair, as seen in the video above, and asked him how he came up with "Whooooo!"
"I heard Jerry Lee Lewis say it in a song in 1974 and I've never stopped since," Flair said.
- The Rock responded to a report of his latest film, Baywatch, flopping at the box office, as seen below. The reporter then congratulated The Rock for The Fate of the Furious crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide this weekend. Baywatch is expected to finish the holiday weekend with $22 million and had a budget in the $60 – $65 million range. While it is far below estimates, as it was projected to open at around $40 million, it hasn't opened overseas yet and is expected to be profitable.

@MovieMantz ???? Whaa? Who taught you economics? 35-45% of your budget in just one territory (US) is excellent. Our worldwide rollout begins next week. ????
