The WWE on Fox Twitter account sent out a tweet asking fans ‘Who Is Your GOAT?’, between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The Rock replied, stating that he chooses Downtown Bruno as his greatest of all time.
In wrestling? Easy answer; when I was 15 (broke & evicted) this man let me live with him in Nashville. Downtown Bruno. Most don’t know who Bruno is but a few do.
My brother @steveaustinBSR comes in a very close 2nd. [laughing emoji] Cheers to life’s wild and unpredictable journey. #goat

Downtown Bruno was a heel manager who helped out The Rock during a hard time in his life whilst working in Memphis. Bruno then moved to WWE where he would go on to manage the likes of Big Bully Busick and Kamala whilst portraying the character ‘Harvey Wippleman’.
Johnson then went on to choose Stone Cold as a close second, which is no surprise when you think about WWE and WCW during the Monday Night Wars. Along with The Rock’s historic rivalry with Stone Cold.
