– We noted yesterday that The Rock made the cover of Entertainment Weekly with his “Dwanta Claus” alter ego. Vince McMahon took to Twitter to congratulate his former WWE Champion on the accomplishment, and “The Great One” responded with a great little anecdote about meeting “The Chairman Of The Board” at age 11 before being offered a contract at 25:

First shook hands w/ Vince when I was 11yrs old.

To this day, Vince is one of my greatest mentors & trusted advisors. #FullCircle #Ohana ???? https://t.co/YB2rBHHe8L— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) December 2, 2017
