The Rock "Regrets" Not Having A Longer Feud With THIS WWE Star

Only having a short run with this WWE star is one of The Rock's "biggest regrets".

The Rock wishes he'd been able to have more matches against Booker T in WWE.

Big Dwayne Johnson replied to a complimentary tweet fired out by Hurricane Helms and revealed that not having a longer run opposite Booker is actually one of his "biggest regrets". Helms had said he was doing cardio and watching both men work at SummerSlam 2001 when 'The Great One' chimed in with some thanks and that revelation.

Rocky called Book "the best pure athlete" he'd ever stepped into the ring with, which is seriously high praise considering Johnson also wrestled the likes of Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar during his WWE career. Neither of those guys could hold a candle to Booker's "fluid, sharp and believable movements" though, at least according to Dwayne.

Together, he and Booker worked bouts at SummerSlam and Unforgiven '01 (the latter was a handicap match also involving Shane McMahon). Then, they went their separate ways - The Rock's movie career started to take off, and Booker formed tag-teams with Test and Goldust before becoming a singles babyface himself.

Johnson would've loved the chance to pick their feud back up again.
