Long added that though god had been kind to The Rock, he hadn't forgotten his past and always went out of his way to help out those who helped him in his journey.
"Well, god bless him, man. I was right there, kind of with him for the little bit of his struggle, but we have seen where he started and where he's come from. So, god has really blessed him, and one thing about him - he doesn't forget the people who were helping him on the way up. He certainly goes up and sees about those people that certainly helped him get where he is today. So kudos to The Rock, man. Merry Christmas to him, and keep on having all the good luck," said Teddy Long. (3:17 - 3:45)
