The Rock has gone head-to-head with some of the greatest names in WWE history but a few stand out to him above the rest.
In a recent interview for Sports Illustrated, Dwayne Johnson revealed the opponents he loved wrestling the most, and it wasnt just about big names it was about pedigree.
When talking about his favorite in-ring rivals, The Rock immediately mentioned Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, freak athlete Brock Lesnar, and five-time WCW Champion Booker T. Each one, according to The Great One, brought something special that made their matches unforgettable.
The Rock also praised Brock Lesnar, who famously beat him at SummerSlam 2002 to become the youngest WWE Champion in history.
And while Booker T often gets left out of conversations about legendary opponents, The Rock made sure to show him love too.
These names werent just about star power they were athletes with real credibility and unique backgrounds. For The Rock, that challenge is what made wrestling them so rewarding.
The Peoples Champ clearly values opponents who bring more than just entertainment he respects those who had to earn it outside the ring first.
