The Rock also revealed that he and Taker had a lot of banter. 

“He would ask me, ‘You hit 30 yet?’ No, not yet. F**k. One day you will, your bones will be sore.”‘ he laughed. ‘I always appreciate that about Mark, because it spoke volumes about his integrity and love for the business. I’ll always be grateful for that”

Interestingly Taker was not always a fan of The Rock. In fact, he did not like Rocky Maivia’s debut at Madison Square Garden. 

However, Taker did admit that a lot of The Rock’s original character was down to the WWE. 

“I mean, they handcuffed him right out of the get go, right? I remember watching him, and the Garden [fans], they’re merciless if they don’t like what you’re doing. And man, they just lit him up.”

Fortunately, The Rock recovered and how! Not only did he win multiple championships, he also moved over to Hollywood.
