WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair took to Twitter earlier this week and posted a photo of himself and a 12-year-old version of The Rock from 1984. The Rock saw the photo and responded with the following, calling Ric Flair one of his heroes:
“Respect, always brother. You, Dusty my dad, Muraco, Hawk, Animal, Piper, all you guys were my heroes. This pic was taken in 1984 ~ in Vegas at the NWA annual convention. I was pimply faced 12 year old with an afro and you were (and will always be) “The Man”. #woo”
