Triple H and The Rock are the two most bitter rivals in WWE history. These two have faced each other in numerous encounters over the years.
They were also one of the main reasons of the greatness for The Attitude Era. Nowadays they have been away from full-time wrestling capacity.
The Rock has become one of the most successful Hollywood superstars of this generation. He has got into the movies ever since the last decade. There’s no other better mainstream name than him in the WWE.
Triple H, on the other hand, has become the Executive Vice President of talents relations for the WWE. He is also the head honcho for the NXT brand and the supposed successor of Vince McMahon. He is going to take over the Raw and Smackdown Live brand as well once the current chairman steps down from his role.
The 14-time world champion is also a global brand ambassador for the WWE brand. We can spot him promoting the WWE products on several occasions. A similar event named WWE FYC (For Your Consideration) took place for EMMY’s promotional purposes.
The Rock kicked things off for the show with a video message on the tron. The Game revealed an interesting conversation with the Great One, after that.
He mentioned a photo from Wrestlemania 34. It featured the first couple of the WWE Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. The former one had goosebumps standing in the ring. They locked horns against Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey at the biggest show of this year.
The COO of the WWE wanted to remind the Rock the same kind of feelings they used to have inside the ring. So he sent the picture to the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment. Here are the excerpts of his words, (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
“I immediately took a snapshot of it and sent it to The Rock to say, ‘dude, look at my legs.’ We used to talk about this all the time, the passion for what we do when you have that moment in front of 80,000 people where your whole body, it’s electric. There’s no other way to describe it, but it just goes into automatic, and you’re covered with goosebumps, and it’s just this insane adrenaline thing.”

The Rock almost responded immediately to the text message. He assured this photo would end up being in his trailer. He also added that “nobody can understand that like we can, it’s something of the WWE.”
It’s s true in the context of wrestling. The wrestlers can have an amazing feeling by performing in front of thousands of fans in an arena. We can never describe it accurately through words. Only the performers can feel the energy of these moments.
