The full Instagram post, including the fancy title of ‘Executive Soundtrack Producer’, can be seen below:
Now I’m no expert in producing music, far from it, but to me it seems slightly far fetched to call someone the ‘Executive Soundtrack Producer’ for choosing a handful of songs? Well, whatever sells more copies, right?

WWE 2K18 will be hitting the shelves this October 17, on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch version will also be released, however, not until the Fall.
As briefly mention, The Rock’s ‘exclusive’ involvement is a surefire way to sell more copies. However, I do find his extravagant title slightly over the top. But hey, I could be wrong? Sound off in the comments and let me know what you think!
