Stasiak went on to praise The Rock, saying he deserved all the success he has achieved so far, not just in wrestling, but in Hollywood as well.
"But you know, Dwayne had Pat Patterson, for instance, you know, kind of looking out for him a little bit. Hey, Dwayne worked his b**t off, deserves everything he got, not just in wrestling but even in Hollywood and everything he's done. But you have to have some people behind you, you know, politically, you got to have some people pulling for you."
The Rock has now focused solely on his Hollywood career, occasionally making cameo appearances in WWE.
