The Rock took to his social media space to hail Stone Cold Steve Austin who has decided to call it quit in the world of wrestling.
Their last match came at WrestleMania 19, in which The Rock retired Stone Cold, ending his decade-long career on the biggest stage of them all.
It was an emotional night for all watching, but especially for the two men that shared a very special moment inside the ring.
After covering the Texas Rattlesnake for the three count, Rock can be seen sharing some words with his great rival before climbing the turnbuckle and celebrating in front of the crowd.
Now, 17 years on, he's finally revealed what he said to Stone Cold at the moment their incredible rivalry came to an end.
"I hit him with three Rock Bottoms - I believe it was three Rock Bottoms - appropriately that's what you need to beat The Rattlesnake," Rock said, during an Instagram Live video.
"You can actually see me as I sit up and he's laying there - in front of everybody - and I whisper to him, 'I thank you so much for everything that you have done for me.'
"I said, 'I love you,' and I heard him say, 'I love you, too.'"
What a moment, shared between two of WWE's most important superstars.
