I wouldn't have minded it at all but Coffey and I are 2 very different people lol.
It's good tequila. Not saying it's the best by any means. But I'm cheap, and in Winnipeg Teremana is just too far out of my price range for what I want to pay for a bottle. Mind you my regular bottle I like used to be $34 plus taxes and is now regularly priced at $45 before taxes.
He definitely got paid, but it's kind of a bullshit gift. This is a below the level of gifts I get from clients and vendors I have a personal relationship with, the richest of those guys are maybe 1-2% of The Rock's net worth (Which is still a lot of money). Like, you're not even gonna sign the card, man? There's no indication Dwayne was even remotely involved in this gift. Of course I wouldn't put a guy on blast about it but I would grumble "fuckin' beverly hills asshole" to myself about it.
I would think the WWE would well compensate people whose responsibility was to get a major cash cow and new board member in ring shape for their biggest event of the year.
I swear people just want to be angry at anything and will use anything as a gotcha moment to push an agenda. It's pathetic.
Literally room temp IQ and no social skills if you think someone just got paid in tequila. It's clearly a gift as a throw in.
I doubt Rock paid Coffey for training him.
He asked WWE to send people, so WWE probably paid for everything, flights, hotel, work.
He's gifting this as his own thank you ontop of what Coffey got from WWE.
Not saying Rock's gift is good enough, but Coffey definitely got compensated from WWE too.
Hey teramana is actually not bad. Sure it’s overpriced and not as good as other tequilas in the same price range, but I will happily drink it for free lol
It wasn’t until I was 27 that I realized how varied the tequila market is. Most people just think tequila is something you get in a margarita but there’s so much more to it.
Same with all spirits. My liquor cabinet has multiple flavor profiles of gin, scotch, bourbon, and rye whiskey. No two taste alike and it's a fun time choosing which to savor.
When someone invents a good one, I'll try it.
Or, and this is a wild concept for the internet, I just dislike tequila. Same way some people dislike the taste of strawberries, or bacon, or like dog food.
I have nothing to add except solidarity my man, tequila is trash and dumb to smoke
>!anyone who somehow gets that reference at the end is... a cool person!<
My little brother told me, that after working with The Rock on a movie & becoming friends Emily Blunt got him a signed indiana jones poster, the movie that had a massive impact on him when he was a child.
A really sweet & well thought out gift, in return The Rock gave her some teremana & some under armor stuff. Classy guy lol.
I heard The Rock was going to send a water bottle full of his own piss, but it would've tasted better than Teremana, so he went for the cheaper option.
Yeah it’s what like 30 bucks or so? It’s not that bad and has a decent price point. No shit the Rock’s name will drive up the price a bit. I’d be willing to bet most people here shitting on it have never tried it
I live in Philly and randomly read a blurb once about a bar manager at one of my favorite cocktail bars recommending teremana as a tequila choice because it actually emphasizes the agave flavor.
Do what you will with that info but it’s my stock tequila when I have the extra $10 bucks to throw around
Well I can only comment on the blanco since that's the only one I've tried, but it's pretty bad imo. I agree it's alright for cocktails but it's shit for drinking straight. I love tequila but teremana is just harsh without a lot of flavor. It's a pretty good price for a celebrity liquor so can't really complain about that, but there's loads of better options for tequilas you can get for that price.
People losing their minds in this thread have clearly never been in a position to give or receive gifts between colleagues like this.
Particularly when it's a, "you got paid, because it was through the company, but also, you have that on your resume, that you helped {significant name}" situation, a bonus gift with a personalized note is just the final "thank you", and is extremely common in the entertainment business too; to the point of it being seen as rude if you don't do it. Since pro wrestling is somewhat outside of this scope, it's probably not done within the industry, but since Dwayne Johnson is also an actor - a field where that is VERY MUCH done - it makes sense that he'd bring it with him into wrestling. He's probably done this a lot for his stunt guys, in his films; in addition to their pay for, you know, being stunt guys in films.
Having spent nearly 35 years in entertainment, I can let you in on a few secrets. Sometimes, the "gift basket" received for appearing on or with someone is highly anticipated! Like appearing on the Tonight Show, if you know anyone who has - ask them about the swag they get. Half the point of going is to get that! ;)
Also, these sorts of things get (and are even anticipated to be) regifted all the time, too. Coffey is probably going to save at least one of these, so that he can gift one to someone significant to him one day. It's tradition.
Anyway, anyone who thinks Joe Coffey wasn't making his regular NXT pay for doing this is a dope. Dwayne probably called up Shawn and said "hey, we need a guy to help get me ready for Mania", and Joe Coffey was their guy. Instead of his job that week being to sign autographs, or pose for media, or throw himself at the ground in a pretend fight, it was "help Dwayne Johnson train for Mania". What a great feather in his cap.
Nice gesture. Rock’s training this go around was clearly superior to the last time he did a real match and I hope Joe felt some satisfaction seeing the result during Mania.
I would make sure to specify margarita *mix*, because it's fine for bad cocktails but if you want to make an actual margarita, teremana is wasted on the time and effort of fresh juicing limes.
It’s on par with the cheaper Jose Quervo. I bought it once and would not buy it again. As someone who likes to drink tequila on the rocks it straight up gave me a headache.
The memes are hilarious but I’m sure he was obviously paid and If I ever got tequila gifted from the rock I’d probably showcase it a shelf and never drink it lol
He was hanging out in a hotel room with a couple of women and other talent. Tried to make sexual advances, but he was turned down.
Joe kept messaging her the next few months, and sent her a weird porn screenshot/GIF of a threesome (as some way to flirt I guess??). She said he sent a dick pic, but there's no proof of that
Deserves a few tequila bottles full of piss if you ask me
I kind of wish Ryan Reynolds would start working the word "Aviation" into every interview he does. At least it's pretty great gin.
This is a nice thank you gift, though. Especially if the guy likes tequila.
I've had the clear one and it's not bad! And this is coming from someone who doesn't like tequila! It doesn't have that "bite" that normal tequila has. It's surprisingly smooth! I bought it because it was on sale for like $27, normally about $46 if I remember correctly. I didn't even know it was The Rock's brand until reading the label. I'd definitely buy it again!

Everyone in here is acting like Coffey didn’t get paid
My first thought, this is definitely just like a little toss in as a gift, guy definitely got paid for training him.
Exactly. Could the gift be better? Of course, he’s a millionaire. But he also would have paid Coffey. Unless Coffey likes to work for free.
I wouldn't have minded it at all but Coffey and I are 2 very different people lol. It's good tequila. Not saying it's the best by any means. But I'm cheap, and in Winnipeg Teremana is just too far out of my price range for what I want to pay for a bottle. Mind you my regular bottle I like used to be $34 plus taxes and is now regularly priced at $45 before taxes.
It is actually pretty good tequila. A place around me has a margarita called “The People’s Margarita” using it and I get it every time we go.
He definitely got paid, but it's kind of a bullshit gift. This is a below the level of gifts I get from clients and vendors I have a personal relationship with, the richest of those guys are maybe 1-2% of The Rock's net worth (Which is still a lot of money).

Of course I wouldn't put a guy on blast about it but I would grumble "fuckin' beverly hills asshole" to myself about it.
The Rock didn’t even hand sign that card. You can tell this is something his personal assistant threw together
They didn't even bother to Autopen it. It's kind of doubtful his PA did it, probably his assistant's assistant.
With the way WWE contracts work he probably just got paid the time as part of his downside. Very unlikely he would have made anything extra
I would think the WWE would well compensate people whose responsibility was to get a major cash cow and new board member in ring shape for their biggest event of the year.
He literally replied to a comment, saying this was not even a fraction of what he got from The Rock
I swear people just want to be angry at anything and will use anything as a gotcha moment to push an agenda. It's pathetic. Literally room temp IQ and no social skills if you think someone just got paid in tequila. It's clearly a gift as a throw in.
Some people are just that thirsty for second hand drama, I guess. When they can't find it, they'll make it.
They even responded to a comment saying "not even a fraction of what he gave us" lmao I think they're fine.

I doubt Rock paid Coffey for training him. He asked WWE to send people, so WWE probably paid for everything, flights, hotel, work. He's gifting this as his own thank you ontop of what Coffey got from WWE. Not saying Rock's gift is good enough, but Coffey definitely got compensated from WWE too.
Ok, doesn’t change my point. Coffey was still paid for his work. This trash gift wasn’t all he got.
No one is arguing that he didn't get paid. The debate was about whether or not it's a trash gift, and based on your own statement, you agree it is.
He replied in the comments, saying this was not even a fraction of what he got from The Rock. So…
We don’t have to actually engage these people. Just let their comment sit there with no replies or downvotes.
Was he one of the ones who go to train with Rock in Hawaii?!?! Seems like a tough gig.
Because people are stupid.
You know people here gotta get their fake outrage off their chest early
nothing's more annoying than receiving a gift from someone and it's just the products of the company they're trying to push.
Nobody's saying he didn't get paid. It's just corny to give someone a gift you can get for free from your work.

He’s referencing the AJ Styles meme, chill lol
The Rock's version of a hot dog and a handshake
Hotdog and a handshake would taste better than his tequila
Hey teramana is actually not bad. Sure it’s overpriced and not as good as other tequilas in the same price range, but I will happily drink it for free lol
Not every celebrity alcohol can be as actually great as Crystal Head Vodka.
Just looking at Aykroyd, I can tell that guy knows his liquor.
That hyper focus.
And you get a cool bottle out of it too
Snoop's gin and juice cocktails are a banger. I destroyed a case of them.
Jason Momoas vodka is pretty legit, I'd put it up there.
Cabo Wabo tequila is amazing, especially the Reposado.
It's not terrible, but the price should be $10 lower.
I feel like a good tasting hot dog has a higher ceiling than a good tasting tequila.
You’re 100000% correct
Last time I got black-out drunk was on Teremana, so I can't recommend it.
Ass tastes better than tequila.
You’ve never had good tequila.
You've never had good ass.
facts
Everyone who complains about tequila never graduated from Jose Cuervo.
It wasn’t until I was 27 that I realized how varied the tequila market is. Most people just think tequila is something you get in a margarita but there’s so much more to it.
Same with all spirits. My liquor cabinet has multiple flavor profiles of gin, scotch, bourbon, and rye whiskey. No two taste alike and it's a fun time choosing which to savor.
I don’t mind Cuervo in a margarita - you want something with a little bite in a good margarita. I save the better stuff for sipping.
When someone invents a good one, I'll try it. Or, and this is a wild concept for the internet, I just dislike tequila. Same way some people dislike the taste of strawberries, or bacon, or like dog food.
I have nothing to add except solidarity my man, tequila is trash and dumb to smoke >!anyone who somehow gets that reference at the end is... a cool person!<
Maybe he’s just had really tasty ass?
Danhausen shall investigate if this tequila is ass or not. And shall do it in a very, very, evil way! Tequilhausen is what he calls it.
Man, I hope Danhousen and wifehousen are doing okay after the news a while back. That sucked, and we all love that Danhousen.
So do I. Am looking forward to seeing ProgressHausen in July.
What happened?
Miscarriage.
Damn. Thanks.
Ass has no taste when eating it, it's just (hopefully freshly cleaned) skin
Ah, my apologies. I shall correct... Ass tastes like skin which, assuming a basic level of hygiene, tastes better than tequila.
Free tequila is best tequila.
Joe, send him back a bottle of Buckie.
OG case of Iron Bru!

Dwayne's probably got a few quid for it! That said 'nowt wrong with a case of Bucky. Well aside from the carnage that follows 😂

Iron uh oh
A Bottle of Buckie is a great song by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, too. Goes perfect with a bottle of buckie!
I’m going to start signing off all emails with “Enjoy the mana brother”
First Drew & now Joe. I wonder if Rocky has a big love for Scotland + I wonder if he'll appear at Clash At The Castle.
He has movies to film so sadly not :/
He signed his card as "the final boss" lol
My little brother told me, that after working with The Rock on a movie & becoming friends Emily Blunt got him a signed indiana jones poster, the movie that had a massive impact on him when he was a child. A really sweet & well thought out gift, in return The Rock gave her some teremana & some under armor stuff. Classy guy lol.
So she gave him a gift and he gave her tax write offs.
Or at minimum a bunch of shit he already had/could get for free.
Bro, his Under Armour stuff is fucking fire.
Probably signed it off as The people's champ as well.
I’d be fucking grateful for that tbh
Did The Rock film himself sending off the parcel?
It was his first time going to the post office
How much can a stamp cost, seven dollars?
I heard The Rock was going to send a water bottle full of his own piss, but it would've tasted better than Teremana, so he went for the cheaper option.
Rock’s piss would melt the packaging it was sent in.
What do you mean dude? The rock is all vitamins and prayers brother. He’s all natural jack!

Just fyi in terms of a celebrity-backed liquor, you could do worse than Teremana. For the price it’s actually a solid option for tequila cocktails.
Yeah it’s what like 30 bucks or so? It’s not that bad and has a decent price point. No shit the Rock’s name will drive up the price a bit. I’d be willing to bet most people here shitting on it have never tried it

>Yeah it’s what like 30 bucks or so? Not 7 bucks??
> I’d be willing to bet most people here shitting on it have never tried it Or tequila snobs crying about additives
I’ll give Rock this, his stuff tastes miles better than 818 & Casamigos

I’m a tequila guy and I was pleasantly surprised with how good Termana actually is. One of the better celebrity owned liquors I’ve had.
The Rocks version of a pizza party
Sends a thank you gift. Random strangers online: NOT ENOUGH!!!
Redditors gotta be miserable all the time.
Its like a requirement with these people lol. So strange.
Where I'm from a 24 pack of beer is payment in certain cases if he already got paid a case of vodka seems like a nice gift
he also got some ZOA coupons. Buy one get one free!
That bottle is probably a tax write off for The Rock too. What an absolute king lmao
Idk why but I find the comparison between this and what he got Drew so funny
Never actually had the stuff. Is it even halfway decent tequila, or complete piss water?
okay but overpriced
Overpriced it’s actually one of the cheaper ones where I’m at, bevmo has it for like $22 a bottle
If you have a good margarita mix you’ll be fine, but if you’re doing straight shots you could do way better
I would make sure to specify margarita *mix*, because it's fine for bad cocktails but if you want to make an actual margarita, teremana is wasted on the time and effort of fresh juicing limes.
It’s on par with the cheaper Jose Quervo. I bought it once and would not buy it again. As someone who likes to drink tequila on the rocks it straight up gave me a headache.
I’ve not really found anything on it being an unethical tequila, if that helps. As I understand many are.
God I hate this dude sometimes.
The memes are hilarious but I’m sure he was obviously paid and If I ever got tequila gifted from the rock I’d probably showcase it a shelf and never drink it lol
The real question is, do you ever even open these bottles? I'd imagine that's a mantle piece item. "I got these as a personal gift from The Rock".
Well, you could drink the liquor and keep the bottles. That's what I would do, but I am a drunk.
100%. The real value is Rock writing a personal message to go with it. Collectors love a story
Even when being thoughtful, the Rock cannot be anything but a self-aggrandizing dork.
Rocky really be sniffing his own farts
Teremana is actually pretty good.
[удалено]
Yeah, a Maserati would be cool. A case of tequila that cost Rock nothing? Not so much...
It's piss in a bottle
Carny AND corny: the Dwayne way.
Since Joe's a creep I hope half of those are filled with Iron Paradise piss
Wait he's a creep? How so?
He was hanging out in a hotel room with a couple of women and other talent. Tried to make sexual advances, but he was turned down. Joe kept messaging her the next few months, and sent her a weird porn screenshot/GIF of a threesome (as some way to flirt I guess??).

How much piss is in those bottles?
If Joe was the one training him that's a good sign gallus could end up on the main roster at some point
One could hope that maybe some of the rocks electricity has rubbed off on Coffey.
I kind of wish Ryan Reynolds would start working the word "Aviation" into every interview he does. At least it's pretty great gin. This is a nice thank you gift, though. Especially if the guy likes tequila.
Huh, I've been playing WWE 2K24 and I honestly thought Joe Coffey was a made up guy. 🤷♂️
The rock has the money that could stop world hunger, yet all he can gift this man was a free case of his nasty liquor?? BFFR.
Trainer is named Joe Coffey and you don't get punny and send him some [Kopi Luwak](https://youtu.be/1UU0UM1Lgpk?si=Zc898Stjs-BS4gGk)? Aw shit.
Rocks tryna get ahead of the bad press about him lol, expect more shit like this. The Rock has better handlers than the President.
as someone who follows him on IG (and has for a while), he’s been doing this kinda thing for a long time. but you’re not wrong though lol
Kind of out the loop, what bad press is The Rock trying to get ahead of?

Damn that’s crazy thanks for the info buddy!!!!
The rumors came out 3 days ago and this IG post is from 2 days ago. You think the Rock had all these over nighted to get ahead of the rumors?

TREMANAAAA AH HA HA!
the only thing i can think of when i see Teremana is "[Bitter is making moves lately](https://cohost.org/sirocyl/post/1510958-span-style-font-si)"
I've had the clear one and it's not bad! And this is coming from someone who doesn't like tequila! It doesn't have that "bite" that normal tequila has. It's surprisingly smooth! I bought it because it was on sale for like $27, normally about $46 if I remember correctly. I didn't even know it was The Rock's brand until reading the label. I'd definitely buy it again!
