Dale Earnhardt Jr Reveals Why He Didn’t Like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

If you have been a longtime fan of professional wrestling, there is no doubt that there is a certain wrestler you look up to the most because they speak straight to your heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s their attitude, persona, or gestures. When it comes to wrestlers, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, undoubtedly has “Millions and Millions” of fans that adore him for his persona. On the other side, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently admitted in a conversation that he didn’t like The Rock.

For those who missed it, Earnhardt attended the RAW episode that aired on October 24 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, a few weeks ago. He has first-hand knowledge of it and a complete comprehension of how the WWE functions. On his most recent podcast, the NASCAR Hall of Famer went into detail about everything and responded to questions about which wrestlers he enjoys watching the most.

Earnhardt stated, “If I can be honest about it, the wrestlers that I liked were Dusty Rhodes and Stone Cold. I did like The Rock, but not at first.” He didn’t dislike The Rock; rather, he did like him, but not immediately in the same manner that he had loved other guys. But it would be fascinating to know why The Rock initially fell short of exciting the NASCAR legend despite impressing millions of fans.

He further explained on the podcast why he didn’t connect with The Rock in the same way that he did with The Texas Rattlesnake.

He stated, “The guys that I like are, you know, blue-collar T-shirt and jeans. You know for me, I’m still looking at that’s why I went. I told her I got some friends of mine to go to all the time and I said I want to get back into it. I need to find that’s that Steve Austin I need to find that Dusty Rhodes character that I wanna connect to.”

According to him, he adores the character who symbolizes the man next door who he would want to hang out with and drink beer with. Additionally, he didn’t connect with The Rock the same way that Stone Cold did because of The Rock’s pompous demeanor. But he eventually changed after he started to like The Rock.
