The Rock is one of the greatest WWE stars of all time, and he also happens to be one of the most popular movie stars on the planet, so it’s safe to say he’s influenced quite a few people. Rock inspired many of today’s WWE stars, and Mike Kanellis recently posted a photo of himself wearing a Rock shirt, and he noted that it was getting him through his workout.

Bennett was touched by greatness when The Great One Himself responded and encouraged Mike to keep having fun and stay safe.

We’ll see if Mike will be able to stay safe when he takes on Sami Zayn at Battleground.
At one point Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder were a tag team called The Major Brothers, and together they won the WWE Tag Team Titles together. It’s been a long time since the two stars worked as a team, and they’re currently on separate brands, but Ryder and Hawkins like to poke fun at each other from time to time. Curt Hawkis recently took a moment to call Zack Ryder “socially awkward” on Twitter, but it ended up backfiring on him.
I'm headed to #UFCLongIsland tonight. If you see me please don't hesitate to say hi. I'm actually way less socially awkward than @ZackRyder!

Zack Ryder decided to hit Curt Hawkins back with a pretty decent burn, and Twitter seemed to appreciate it.
And way less over. https://t.co/1IlMwGHVgT

The war is surely far from over, but it’s safe to say Zack Ryder won this battle.
