Ric Flair recently posted a picture of him and The Rock from back when he was just 12 year old Dwayne Johnson.

The Rock replied to the post with the following:

“Respect, always brother. You, Dusty my dad, Muraco, Hawk, Animal, Piper, all you guys were my heroes. This pic was taken in 1984 ~ in Vegas at the NWA annual convention. I was pimply faced 12 year old with an afro and you were (and will always be) “The Man”. #woo”
