The Rock is without a doubt one of the biggest names in the history of the professional wrestling business and he was involved in some legendary feuds during his run with WWE. Triple H was one of The Rock’s biggest rivals and they clashed on many occasions.
Former WWE star EJ Nduka recently appeared spoke to Phil Lindsey, Will Washington, and Righteous Reg of Grapsody about his interactions with Triple H, and he revealed that he received a major compliment from The Game.
“I had a very strong influence with Dwayne [The Rock]. Even when I was at the PC [WWE Performance Center], Hunter said to me one day, I was shooting a commercial, it was a pilot for FOX, we were in Tampa, and everyone was up there; Stephanie (McMahon), Hunter [Triple H], Vince (McMahon), I’m in the ring, we’re sharing stories and talking about what we’re going to do for the commercial.
I’m chopping it up with H and he said, ‘You remind me a lot of DJ [Dwayne Johnson].’ I’m having the conversation and I’m just enamored being able to talk to H because just to be able to talk to Hunter is big. Midway through the conversation, it clicked with me, ‘He said DJ, he’s talking about Dwayne.’ He goes, ‘The moniker he has, the hardest worker in the room, I always hear that when your name gets brought up. I have no doubt that you’re one of the hardest workers in the group.’ That kind of made me feel good because you don’t get a lot of acknowledgment, especially when you’re a recruit.”
EJ Nduka first signed with WWE in 2019, but the company decided to release him in 2021. Following his release he went on to work with MLW where he currently holds the MLW Tag Team Titles with Calvin Tankman. As for The Rock, WWE is hoping to book The Great One for WrestleMania 39 and you can get more on that here.
