– During a recent interview with Rewind Recap Relive, former WWE broadcaster Kevin Kelly discussed his time in WWE and working with The Rock for many promo segments. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Kevin Kelly on working with The Rock: “It was always so much fun, Dwayne and I worked together in Florida when he was first getting started. It was only one time, but his dad, Rocky Johnson was wrestling down there. I was ring announcing, just getting my start, my career, and Dwayne came with his dad to a show. So when poor Rocky Johnson was getting beaten down in the main event, who comes out to make the save? His son, and we knew that he was going to get into wrestling.”
On having no idea the heights The Rock would make it to: “But none of us had any idea that he would go to the heights that he would become, and I would always joke with him and say, hey, you know, listen, I can get us back in that flea market there outside of Tampa. Just say the word because and we’re there. I’m not so sure that this whole WWE thing is working out for you.”
