"He's got the whole package" - The Rock heaps praise on current 32-year-old WWE star
In a recent interview, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson praised former RAW Tag Team Champion Montez Ford.
The Street Profits member idolized The Great One while growing up, and he was left completely emotional after the 10-time world champion sent him a heartfelt message on Instagram in February. He even named The People's Champion as his dream opponent on multiple occasions.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Rock was asked about his interaction with Montez Ford. He heaped praise on the RAW Superstar and said he love his energy and work ethic.
"I love that guy. I love his energy, I love his charisma, I love his work ethic, and you know, in the world of pro wrestling, there's nothing like the world of pro wrestling. It's very unique, and it's also a business. Professional wrestling, WWE, it's in my blood, it's my passion, I love it. So for a guy like him, he's worked his butt off. And by the way, they all do" said the Rock.
He continued and referred to Montez as the "whole package."
"Everybody in that locker room, the men, the women, but him in particular, he's got great athleticism, he's got the whole package. He's cool, he's very cool." (1:28-2:05)
