#5. Vince McMahon helped Dwayne' The Rock' Johnson kickstart his WWE career
@VinceMcMahon was one of my greatest business mentors and a father figure. Not always the relationship one would want with their boss but the convergence of our lives made it to be. We laugh when we get together because we always pick right back up where we left off. #YoungRock twitter.com/ToruYanoFanAcc…
Dwayne' The Rock' Johnson got started on his sports-entertainment career thanks to WWE. The man who offered him a chance to become a big name was none other than Vince McMahon.
The WWE Chairman has played various roles in WWE over the years. Not only has he led the company from the front, but he has also entertained the fans with his antics.
The Rock and McMahon partnered up on several occasions when the former was still active in the ring. Behind the scenes, the two are very close and have spoken highly of each other.
During an Instagram Live last year, The Great One called Vince a "very close friend and confidant."
“You never say never to Vince McMahon, who has been one of my mentors in the business for a very long time. [He’s] a very, very close friend and confidant. You never say no,” he said.
First shook hands w/ Vince when I was 11yrs old.
At 25, he offered me the bare minimum @WWE contract. Said, “You can go to WCW for more money but here you’ll earn every dollar”
To this day, Vince is one of my greatest mentors & trusted advisors.
