New York Yankees Giancarlo Stanton slides into Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's throwback WWE promo post, drops the GOAT emoji for the people's champ

New York Yankees hitter Giancarlo Stanton was filled with admiration for former WWE champion and Hollywood star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Johnson posted a clip on Instagram of his iconic career WWE promos. He congratulated former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz on the release of his new book, 'There's Just One Problem.' His caption read:

"Man, looking back at these wrestling promos is wild. Our @SevenBucksProd SVP of Development, (and one of my close friends) Brian Gewirtz, was the head writer at @WWE for many years — and worked close with me to write so many of these iconic Rock promos."

He added:

"Brian gives the world a peek into so many crazy stories from the ATTITUDE ERA era of pro wrestling, in his new sensational book “THERE’S JUST ONE PROBLEM. Hit my bio to order your copy ☝🏾 Congrats, Brian! #thepeopleswriter ✍🏼"

Stanton was quick to reply, posting a couple of GOAT emojis for the 10-time world champion. Johnson is also a former two-time Intercontinental Champion, a five-time Tag Team Champion and WWE's sixth Triple Crown champion.

On the other hand, Stanton made his debut in the MLB back in 2010, playing for the then-Florida Marlins. He spent seven seasons with the franchise before switching to the Yankees and has been a pivotal figure in the squad ever since.
