#1. The Godfather recalls how The Rock received advice in his early WWE career

One of The Rock's earliest runs in WWE saw him in The Nation of Domination — a popular stable that also included Kama Mustafa (The Godfather), Faarooq (Ron Simmons), D'Lo Brown, and Mark Henry, among others.

Speaking on a recent episode of WWE's The Bump, The Godfather mentioned that Ron Simmons mentored a lot of people in the locker room back during the Attitude Era. The Rock not only received advice from Simmons but also from other members of the faction, who "tried to put him over" as much as they could.

"Ron was the person that mentored everybody. We helped him as much as we could. We gave our advice and tried to put him over as much as we could. But he's a good dude. I mean, he's a really good dude. If success is going to happen to somebody like that, it couldn't happen to a better dude," said The Godfather.

The WWE Hall of Famer added that he enjoyed working with The Rock in The Nation of Domination. Rocky began earning more fan support toward the end of the faction's run, which eventually led to him going solo and becoming the megastar he is today.
