I loved our matches together. I have always loved working with him, and I'm proud of him.
I'm happy for all of his success because he is just killing it, and he is working his a** off." [6:59 - 7:30] The Hall of Famer continued to talk about The Rock's impact as an entertainer and felt that the WWE veteran had carved out a unique path for himself in Hollywood. Unlike many who crossed over into the world of movies, Austin believed Johnson didn't abide by the traditional patterns and went about creating his own empire.
"This larger-than-life character that he was in that movie, and then he didn't almost try to fit into Hollywood standards. No, no, no, just let me do this my way. So the thing I like about The Rock is, he goes, 'Hey man, I'm not just going to just mold myself down.
I'm just going to be me, and that's what he has done. He has taken over Hollywood by himself." [6:31 - 6:58]
Steve Austin feels The Rock was destined to become a movie star after his WWE run
View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Steve Austin noted that while The Rock was passionate about wrestling due to his Samoan lineage, The Great One was always open to becoming a full-time actor. The Rock got his big break in Hollywood when he played the lead protagonist in The Scorpion King in 2002, and he hasn't looked back since.

The Rock has proved that he belongs in Hollywood, and Steve Austin, too, never had any doubts about his former rival's potential to be a mainstream movie star. Austin added:
"You know, who would have figured? But that's what he had his sights set on.
And he is a third-generation pro wrestler, and so he got into the business because of a passion for the business and then also saw the light on the other side, or the light at the end of the tunnel. That first tunnel was maybe that first Scorpion King movie, and I think it only took one screenshot of him looking like a movie star." [6:00 - 6:30]
