Greatness recognizes greatness even if two legends are working for two different companies like The Rock and Ric Flair.

The Rock had one of his memorable promos this past Friday night in Memphis, TN as he serenaded Music City with one of his ‘rock concerts.’ Dwayne Johnson then went on to take jabs at his forthcoming WrestleMania 40 opponents in Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes before changing his target to Cody's mom. 

The Rock got serious and told Cody's mother that he'd be handing her a bloody weightlifting belt after he whips his son like a dog with it, then used a closing lyric from his movie, "Moana."

Flair was impressed and took to social media to put "The People's Champ" over big-time as a promo, noting that he believes Rocky is even better than him.

"My Friend The Rock, You Are The Most Entertaining Motherf*cker In The Entire History Of The Wrestling Business And I’ve Seen Them All, Including Myself, But I Pale In Comparison! I’m So Thankful For Our Friendship & Respect. God Bless You! You Are The F*cking Man! WOOOOO!"

Flair also made the same post on Instagram and not long after SmackDown, The Rock happened to take notice of "The Nature Boy" and didn't think he was deserving of the designation.

"Love you brother, you will always be the goat."

The Rock really let Cody Rhodes have it on Friday as he mocked "The American Nightmare" for crying as his follow-up to slapping The People's Champion.
