When The Rock first joined WWE he had to go through some growing pains before he found himself, but once he did The Great One quickly became one of WWE’s top stars. Now Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to his acting career, and he’s received a lot of praise from his peers.
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently gave The Rock a shoutout on Twitter, and he thanked the former WWE Champion for putting out the sneakers he was wearing when he posted the following:
Great day at Indiana Comic Con. Thanks NWO Nation for the strong showing. Fantastic hotel gym. Got arms and abs in. Thanks @TheRock for putting out these bad ass kicks. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow I'll hit my table at 10:30. Despite a nice wine list downstairs pic.twitter.com/utKBmWWD9k

Rock then followed up with a tweet praising Kevin Nash’s physique.
“You’re an inspiration my brother
In tremendous shape!!! Holy s**t.
Way to raise the bar!”
Kevin Nash responded to The Rock apologized for being “such a d**k” when he returned to WWE in 2002.
Following your lead. You're work ethic is amazing. You're filming schedule would kill most mortals but the promotion for your films is the grind. You film and promote at the same time. Sorry I was such a dick to you when I came back in 2002. Just trying to keep my spot.

The nWo arrived in WWE on the Road to WrestleMania 18 in 2002, and Rock’s feud with the group culminated with a match against Hulk Hogan on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
