The Second Great One? The Rock Names His Pick For The Next Breakout WWE Star.

That’s a big fan to have. There are a lot of talented people on the WWE roster, either on the main shows or down in developmental. Having so much talent around is going to offer a lot of different options for the WWE fans. Some of these fans are bigger names and more influential than others. As it turns out, one of the biggest names in all of entertainment has been impressed by someone in WWE.

TMZ recently talked to the Rock and asked who he thought would be the next big star in WWE. Rock chose Drew McIntyre, praising his look and build while offering the advice of continuing to connect with the audience. McIntyre responded on Twitter, saying that he appreciated the compliment and that he could learn from Rock’s work ethic. At the moment, there is no word on Rock appearing for WWE in the near future.

In all the conversation about the biggest movie of the Summer, I appreciate such high praise from The Great One. We could all learn a thing or two from his work ethic, “All it takes is all you got” @TheRock #HobbsAndShaw https://t.co/c8sJs6DCYZ

McIntyre certainly has the intensity. Check out him getting in Kevin Owens’ face:

Opinion: That’s quite the compliment and while Rock is not likely to be around WWE anytime soon, his word still carries some weight in the wrestling world. If he does show up again one day, we could see him doing something with McIntyre and that would be a major coup for McIntyre’s career. Now if only WWE could use McIntyre in a way worthy of his immense talent.

Do you like Rock’s pick? How big of a star can McIntyre be? Let us know in the comments below.
