Muhammad Ali welcomes The Rock to Under Armour team

Muhammad Ali sent his congratulations to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for signing with Under Armour

The Rock is one of the biggest stars on the planet now between his acting, his still ongoing WWE career, and his general awesomeness as a human being and celebrity personality. The People’s Champ, The Great One can seemingly do no wrong. However, that doesn’t mean that even The Great One can’t be humbled a little bit when he’s congratulated by The Greatest, Muhammad Ali.

On Monday, sportswear giant Under Armour announced that they have an endorsement deal with The Rock. A day after the announcement, the ineffable boxing legend in Ali took to Twitter as well to quote UA’s tweet and welcome Rocky to the Under Armour team:

As you certainly have to be whenever the greatest boxer in the history of the sport welcomes you to a team that he’s a part of, Rock replied and was nothing but grateful to Ali for reaching out before again pushing the signing with Under Armour:

Is there really anything particularly noteworthy about this exchange? Absolutely not. However, that doesn’t make it any less interesting or cool to see a legend of the sports world and a legend of the modern pop culture era interacting in such a regard. If I’m Under Armour, I’m working on a “Greatest,” “Great One” commercial right now and getting that out as soon as possible.
