Rapper Eminem denies reports he is set to join the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a pro-wrestler. The "Slim Shady" hitmaker - real name Marshall Mathers III - was rumored to be training for the WWE and was reportedly four months away from making his debut on the wrestling circuit.

But the star's publicist has refuted the claims, telling CelebrityTruth.com, "Eminem has no interest whatsoever in becoming a wrestler. This 'source' is making stuff up."
