He was and will always be “the man” – The Rock heaps praise on The Undertaker
The Rock, more popularly known as Dwayne Johnson, took to Twitter to show appreciation for his long-time in-ring rival and former colleague The Undertaker.
The Hollywood star described a picture of himself with The Deadman as one of his favorites, and recalled the classic matches the former champions have had.
One of my fav pics.

He was and will always be “the man”.
We had some classic matches, especially the ones NOT on TV 😈

The Rock and The Undertaker are no strangers when it comes to standing across from each other in the WWE ring. The two former world champions have collided with each other on four separate occasions, with the results being equally poised.
However, the two share mutual respect and are great friends in real life. The Phenom even backed Dwayne Johnson for President and believes that he could be the "uniter that people are looking for" in the current political climate in the U.S.
The Rock feels that The Undertaker is the 'most gifted' star to grace WWE
Both The Rock and The Undertaker were key figures during WWE's hottest era, and laid the foundations for the company to be where it is today.
'The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment' has spoken multiple times of his admiration for The Phenom. Earlier this year, responding to a video of The Undertaker jokingly calling him a 'C-lister,' Rock called The Reaper "the most athletically gifted big man to ever wrestle and grace the squared circle."
Hahaha one of the many reasons I love my big brother, Take💀
Great sense of humor. Absolute beast in the ring and the most athletically gifted big man to ever wrestle and grace our squared circle. An honor to get my ass kicked by him over the years 🙏🏾💪🏾

With The Undertaker now retired and Rock busy with his Hollywood endeavors, the chance to see the two legends back together seems like a distant dream. However, with WrestleMania season approaching, a Hall of Fame induction could certainly be a joy for fans.
