The Rock is widely regarded as one of the most popular and successful WWE Superstars of all time, so it should come as no surprise that some of WWE’s current-day performers had a crush on The Great One during the Attitude Era.

Speaking in a WWE YouTube video, Vanessa Borne immediately replied with The Rock’s name when she was asked to reveal her childhood WWE crush.

“It’s absolutely The Rock. He’s still my crush, so…”

In 2016, The Rock reacted to being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive by joking that he had nothing left to achieve in life after winning that accolade.

“I said, ‘That’s awesome.’ And then what went through my mind was just how cool and exciting it is. And then I thought, ‘Wow, we’ve pretty much reached the pinnacle.’ I’m not quite too sure where we go from here. I’ve done it all, this is it.”

Borne now works alongside The Rock’s daughter, Simone Johnson, who began reporting to the Performance Center on a full-time basis in 2020 after signing with WWE.
