The Rock has been one of the most well known professional wrestlers for decades now, so it’s safe to say that he knows what it takes to make it in the industry. Ethan Page has also been in the business for a long time, and he had an interesting interaction with The Rock back in 2013.
While discussing his interactions with The Rock on Ringer Wrestling, Ethan Page recalled how he caught The Great One’s attention on social media after he mimicked one of his photos, and The Rock decided to pass on some advice.
“So, I do remember this match. It was a four-way match to crown a championship. This was maybe like Ajax, Ontario or Oshawa, Ontario or something like that. I won a championship. The only reason why I remember this, I’m going to give you a little extra detail here. I won the championship that night. I took a photo around the same time The Rock had become WWE Champion, and I think he had won the Spinner Championship or something like that.
“I just remember visually he had uploaded a photo of him jacked out of his mind. This might have been right after Royal Rumble, actually, and the belt is laying across his knee or his feet or something like that. And I had mimicked the same photo winning this independent championship and tweeted it at The Rock joking about, I don’t know, maybe I need to lift more weights or whatever the hell. And he had responded to me telling me that I needed to take more creatine, which was true. Creatine is very good for you,” he added.
“But I remember at the time thinking, ‘Wow, I can’t believe it. My favorite wrestler acknowledging me.’ Just to fast forward to be on screen with that man and to be so charismatic that he slaps you on your tush on the way out, to leave such an impression on The Rock.”
