RARE: The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin ‘Tolerate’ a Rival Wrestling Fan

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Stone Cold Steve Austin had played a key role in WWE’s success in the late 1990s.

During that time, World Wrestling Entertainment faced competition from WCW. The rivalry between these two professional wrestling promotions grabbed the attention of the entire pro wrestling world.

But keeping this rivalry aside, Steve Austin and The Rock took a picture with a nWo Wolfpac fan.

The nWo Wolfpac was actually a division of one of the most popular pro wrestling stables of all time, nWo.

Back in the late 1990s, WCW had some big stars in their ranks, like Sting and Hulk Hogan.

Hogan, along with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, initially formed the nWo. Later, there were divisions of the nWo (nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac).

This entire storyline involving the two divisions of nWo played a massive role in WCW’s success.

At that point, WCW, with top stars like Sting, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and others, really proved to be a hurdle in WWE’s path.
