“Got a great email last Friday from Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson commenting on the ending of my talent contract with WWE. Hearing from the ‘Great One’ with his positive attitude and honesty always brightens one’s day. An emailer says he ‘knows’ Rock is returning to WWE at Summerslam which I find laughable. I still can see Rock Guest Hosting Raw when it works for him but the Summerslam rumor seems farfetched.”

“Today is the Rock’s Birthday and it seems like it was just yesterday when I was traveling to Florida to see him work out in the ring. One can do a decent job of looking at talent on DVDs, etc but nothing replaces seeing the talent in person, in a ring, mat or practice field and getting to know then one on one. Dwayne Johnson was a ‘keeper’ the minute I laid eyes on him. Some of my peers agreed with me and some not so much. I still remember telling him the story of Deion Sanders always talking in the third person when I interviewed him in my Atlanta Falcon days which encouraged Rock to take that particular presentation to the next level. (“The Rock says.”) I have never seen such a naturally athletic gifted, charismatic, hard working individual come along in wrestling before or since. ”
