In his post, The Rock acknowledged that Chris Jericho is one of the all-time greats, and added that the duo had incredible matches all around the world back then. The Great One then thanked Jericho for the 'honors'. Check out the post HERE.

The Rock is one of the biggest Superstars to ever compete in WWE
Initially dubbed as Rocky Maivia, Dwayne Johnson didn't impress the WWE Universe much. Upon donning the persona of Th Rock, he suddenly became a hot commodity, and it didn't take long for him to become one of WWE's top Superstars.
As years passed, The Rock became one of the greatest talkers in the business, a skill which eventually helped him bag roles in Hollywood movies. The rest, as they say, is history.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
