The Highspots Wrestling Network released a new trailer for a shoot interview with Hermie Sadler, who commented on a time when The Rock was doing commercials for his car dealerships. You can check out a video of Sadler discussing working with The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) for the TV commercials, along with some footage of The Rock in some old car dealer commercials he shot for Hermie Sadler below.

The footage shows The Rock promoting the Sadler Auto Center using his classic character when it really started to take off. The Rock used to do these car commercials for Sadler for several years. Sadler also discusses setting up a deal for Johnson possibly getting an ownership interest in a racing team for NASCAR. However, the deal fell apart after WWE’s legal department killed it, and Sadler and Johnson did not interact much since that time.

Sadler also discusses the issue at length in the new video. Apparently the two saw each other again at a later show, and Johnson only said to Sadler, “I know you’re mad at me.” Sadler reveals he understands that despite him losing a lot of money on the deal falling apart, he understands why Johnson probably had to pull out of the deal due to WWE. Sadler stated, “I know in his heart he was terrified of what he was dong to me at that time. I know it.”
