CALM DOWN, THE ROCK’S T-REX SKULL IS JUST A REPLICA
Written by Ballzer on January 19, 2022
The Rock got everyone talking about something other than the events on the field Monday night when he appeared on The Manning Cast. Behind him in his home office was a HUGE T-Rex skull that was finally addressed. When Eli finally asked the question we were all wondering, The Rock said, “I got a T-Rex skull. Yes, that’s Stan. As a matter of fact, so Stan is the most complete T-Rex skull ever found by a young paleontologist and his name was Stan, so this T-Rex head was named after him.”

Fans were quick to research that the original “Stan” was sold for over $30 million to an anonymous buyer during an auction in October 2020, sparking speculation that DJ was the anonymous buyer to drop the fat stacks on Stan.
A few more thorough fans discovered that it may just be a replica.
OK I figured out The Rock’s T. Rex skull.

You, too, can be the proud owner of a replica “Stan” skull for $11,500. pic.twitter.com/lRCx6ihtAY
Luckily, they were right about the replica, as confirmed by The Rock himself. He did not drop $30 million on a skull, but I bet he could have!
