Publicist denies Eminem WWE rumours

Eminem's publicist has denied rumours that the rapper is about to start a career in professional wrestling.

Reports from MediaTakeOut said the hip-hop star was ready to sign a deal with WWE and claimed he had started wrestling lessons.

A source said: "Eminem's in training right now, he's taking private [wrestling] lessons and working on strength training...All those reports of him being fat are crazy. He's 210 pounds of solid muscle.

"He's not doing this as a joke either, he's really committed to being a wrestler. Wait and see, he's going to be flipping [other wrestlers] and doing all that crazy s**t."

However, the rapper's publicist has quashed the reports, saying: "Eminem has no interest whatsoever in becoming a wrestler. This 'source' is making stuff up."
