Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson opens up about not facing Booker T enough in WWE

The Rock had a ton of praise for WWE Hall of Famer Booker T after responding to Hurricane Helms on Twitter.

The Great one and Booker T had illustrious careers in their time with the company and established themselves at the top. Helms brought up on incredible match between The Rock and T, and The Great One had a lot to say about his rival.

Thank you, brother. I do too actually. One of my biggest regrets was not having a long run w Book. He was one of my fav workers and the best pure athlete I’ve ever wrestled. Fluid, sharp, believable movements and work style. I always say his moves had a rare swagger.

Replying to Helms’ tweet of wishing the two fought more, he says:

“Thank you, brother. I do too actually. One of my biggest regrets was not having a long run w Book. He was one of my fav workers and the best pure athlete I’ve ever wrestled. Fluid, sharp, believable movements and work style. I always say his moves had a rare swagger.”

The Rock and Booker T only met at SummerSlam 2001, where the Great one defeated Booker to claim the WCW World Heavyweight Championship title. The feud between the two was well loved by the WWE Universe and went on to become one of the dominant feuds in the company.

Booker T is an 11-time WCW Tag Team Champion, a six-time World Champion and winner of the 2006 King of the Ring Tournament.

However, Booker has more or less retired from the wrestling business while The Rock has been linked with a return, if he gets time off his movie schedule.

When will The Rock return?

The Rock is reportedly going to return to feud with cousin and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Reigns, is the biggest Superstar in WWE right now alongside Paul Heyman and will be waiting for the fight. He earlier advised The Rock to stay in Hollywood and not bother a return.

The two were set to meet as early as Summerslam in August, but the plan looks likely to be postponed to the end of the year or early 2022.

The Rock was last seen at WrestleMania 32, where he came to address the WWE Universe and received an electrifying response.
