Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the GOATs of the pro wrestling industry who still has fans drooling over his chants and catchphrases. So, it is natural for fans to show the same excitement about anything that involves his name. However, despite his success, The Rock has not been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame yet.
Every year, WWE inducts some of its past stars into its Hall of Fame class. Many of the stars from the Attitude Era have been inducted into the elite class, but The Rock. Although The Rock has not officially called time on his wrestling career, fans know it is inevitable. The only question is who will induct Johnson into the coveted list. Well, the fans have an answer.

Wrestle Features got fans engaged in another verbal tussle over the big question regarding The Rock’s inclusion into the Hall of Fame. The Tweet was done on 16th August with the caption “When The Rock is inevitably inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, who should induct him?”
Though Johnson only wrestled actively for just 7 years, he had many memorable segments and rivalries over the years. Fans were quick to mention the names that helped elevate him to the star he is today. His biggest rival, Stone Cold Steve Austin was mentioned quite a few times. Rock’s feud with Austin made the best moments of the Attitude Era.

Along with Austin, Triple H shared history with The Rock. During the year 2000, when Austin was out because of his neck injury, The Rock feuded as the top babyface against the biggest heel in WWE, Triple H.

Other than Triple H, Mick Foley aka Mankind has a history with The Rock from 1999 to 2000. Some of the best moments with Mick Foley include him winning the WWE Championship after defeating Rock. The two also paired up as ‘Rock n Socko Connection’ to entertain fans again. In the same storyline, Mick Foley did the unforgettable ‘Rock, This Is Your Life’ segment.
