Reports claiming that Eminem is set to join the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) as a pro-wrestler are false, The Celebrity Truth can exclusively reveal, with the rapper’s publicist confirming to us that "this ’source’ is making stuff up".
The story, which appeared on gossip site mediatakeout.com, claims that "a well-known member of Eminem’s inner circle" agreed to give the site an exclusive interview about Eminem’s training for WWE, saying that "he’s taking private [wrestling] lessons and working on strength training".
It also states that the rapper "is about three to four months away from making his debut" on the wrestling circuit.
However, when The Celebrity Truth asked Eminem’s publicist Dennis Dennehy about the rumor, Dennehy confirmed that the rumor is totally false, stating, "Eminem has no interest whatsoever in becoming a wrestler. This ‘source’ is making stuff up.”

OMG OMG OMG Eminem you would be an awesome wrestler. My name is Monika and I am Austraian and I watch WWE on Fox8 it is awesome my favourite wrestlers are John Cena and Batista. I think you would be awesome as a wrestler you could team up with John Cena and become tag team champs.
Did you know that John Cena is also a hip hop rapper with the trademarc FU!!!!! he also has a signture move thats the same name too.
You guys could team up for an album it would be great and you could have one of your songs as your theme song such as ‘Till I collapse’ did you know I play that song at least 5 times a day it rocks.
You are soo talented at what you do and even if you do not decide to become a wrestler still remember be strong, do what you do best, keep your head up because Aussie people millions and millions especially me lOVE AND RESPECT YOU!!!!!!!

If anyone was a REAL wrestling fan, they’d know all of this shit was fake. It takes waaaaaaay more than a couple of months to become a pro wrestler. It takes YEARS upon YEARS and there’d be no way in hell he was ready to compete with 4 months of training. FAIL.
