What Did The Rock Say To WWE's Madcap Moss?
'The Great One' had some acting advice for SmackDown's newest great babyface hope.
Madcap Moss has revealed some insights Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson shared with him and other select members of the WWE roster during a Performance Center visit made by 'The Great One' several years ago.
Speaking to The Power Trip After Party, Moss said (h/t WrestlingInc);
“[The Rock] came and talked to a group of us one time and someone asked him about being able to go beyond WWE and get into Hollywood and get into acting...he said, ‘We should all want to transcend the business. We should all want to be that big of a star, but you have to master the business before you can transcend it.”
Moss is currently toasting victory over Happy Corbin following the conclusion of their programme on last week's SmackDown. That "Last Laugh" encounter followed a victory at the Hell In A Cell premium live event a fortnight earlier.
Moss has been in the WWE system since 2014 and but is currently experiencing what most would consider his first real opportunity to make a mark on the main roster after a couple of prior false starts. After middling runs in NXT, he made his Monday Night Raw debut in January 2020 as an associate of Mojo Rawley, which in turn saw him eventually dragged into 24/7 Championship nonsense. This was followed by a quick stint in Shane McMahon's Raw Underground project before an injury absence and late-2021 joining up with Happy Corbin.
