Dwayne Johnson's Incredible Rags To Riches Story

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

The Rock may seem like a larger than life figure, but even he's gone through his fair share of hard times. From major setbacks to skyrocketing success in wrestling and films, this is the story of how Dwayne the Rock Johnson worked hard to turn his poverty into star power. Today, Rocky Soulman Johnson is mainly known as the Rock's dad, but he once had a respectable wrestling career of his own. Rocky, whose father was also a wrestler, started in the '60s and found considerable success after joining the WWE, then known as the WWF, in 1983. In December of that same year, Soulman and Tony Atlas defeated the Wild Samoans and became the first African-American tag team in WWE history. Rocky retired eight short years later, but he made enough of an impact to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008. Unsurprisingly, it was Rocky who first introduced a young Dwayne to wrestling, often teaching his son simple holds and maneuvers and introducing him to the gym at the age of 13. Sadly, Rocky passed away in 2020 at age 75. His son said of him on Instagram, I love you. You broke color barriers, became a ring legend and trail blazed your way thru this world. I was the boy sitting in the seats, watching and adoring you, my hero from afar. The boy you raised to always be proud of our cultures and proud of who and what I am. The boy you raised with the toughest of love.

86 the two-party system! Dems and the GOP will never gel again and America is no longer the states united. As a life-long, mod independent, I'm EFFING TIRED of watching all of em/y'all bicker. We obviously can't go on the way we are now and neither side is [any longer] willing to accept that a proper balance of capitalism and socialism (Which we were once much closer to than we are now) is needed for us to continue as the USA. Take it from someone who's in the middle; both parties have some good policies, both have some terrible ones. The system is broken, and it'll never work again unless we work on/with both sides. Again, take it from someone. these days, both Dems & Reps are cray-cray AF! We need to run indies like our lives depend on it, 'cause they just may. Peace!

Even though I recognize his skin color that was not what was interesting to me we are all different shades. We are all in the same human race. What was interesting to me is his personality is so well-rounded and likable.

Oh man, this guy deserves it so much. I love that he is also so down-to-earth. Not many macho guys like him like to open up about their depressions too. Hats off to ROCK!

Rags to riches? His father is a legendary wrestler, he was training with other legends as a teen. I wouldn't call that rags to riches but ok.
