Couple of cool examples of pro graps’ cross-generational brotherhood... and proof that the atmosphere whereby not everyone in the locker room is a cutthroat S.O.B. only in it for himself didn’t just start with those darn millenials who so vex Vince McMahon.
Two guys who don’t even really need pro wrestling any more, and who definitely don’t have to take time out of their busy schedules to encourage a couple of cats who don’t work for WWE, recently did just that. A few words in person or a lengthy social media post doesn’t take a lot. But for Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Mick Foley to do that for Ricochet and Moose, respectively, is cool.
Especially when the two legends know that these exchanges will likely get picked up by a few websites like this one, and give the younger guys a bit of a rub.
Also cool when you can see how very grateful TNA’s Moose and Lucha Underground/New Japan (for now)’s Ricochet were for the gesture.
