Mark Henry agreed to The Undertaker’s comments to some extent, but added that wrestlers today are as tough as they were back in the day. Henry then stated that he was in defense mode back when he was a young gun in WWE, and shared a story about a backstage rib that was pulled by some wrestlers on The Rock.

The Rock had his fair share of real-life rivals in WWE, back in the day
Back when The Rock made his way to WWE, there were a few Superstars who had issues with him getting the spotlight. WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart has spoken about Triple H and Shawn Michaels “being jealous” of The Rock. According to Hart, the duo was afraid that they would lose their spots to The Rock. The Great One himself has stated that some Superstars were against the idea of him winning the WWE title.
The Rock kept grinding though, and would go on to become possibly the greatest entertainer in all of WWE. The Rock’s mic-skills helped him bag a bunch of movie roles in Hollywood, and the rest is history. The Rock is currently the highest-paid actor in the world, and is one of the most famous celebrities on the planet.
