Dwayne Johnson’s Honest Revelation on the Joe Rogan Experience Connects the WWE Legend With His Real Life Admirer- ‘Both of Our Families Have Together’

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is the biggest star in Hollywood right now. And Joe Rogan is the biggest podcaster in the world. The two leaders of their industries collided over the former WWE star’s appearance on a recent episode of the JRE podcast.

During the conversation, Johnson reminisced with Rogan about watching his father and grandfather wrestle with Fritz Von Erich, patriarch of the legendary Von Erich family of professional wrestlers. This prompted a response from Fritz’s grandson, Marshall.

Dwayne Johnson responds to Marshall Von Erich

Marshall Von Erich took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a clip of Dwayne Johnson and Joe Rogan discussing ‘The Rock’s father and grandfather’s time with Fritz Von Erich. He was surprised that one of his idols looked up to his grandfather. “Crazy to think someone I looked up to as a kid looked up to someone in my family when he was a kid. @joerogan @TheRock,” Marshall wrote.

The Jumanji star responded to the tweet and told Marshall that he had fond memories of not only his grandfather but also of working with his father and uncles, Kevin and Kerry Von Erich when he was starting his own illustrious pro wrestling career.

“I sure did brother. Your dad and uncle Kerry were my heroes as a kid – back when my dad and granddad both wrestled for your grandad, Fritz.
Kev & Kerry used to throw me around the ring at the Sportatorium in Dallas.
Wild wrestling history both of our families have together.” he tweeted.

‘The Rock’ talks about being approached to run for President

With the presidential election due next year, the two men got to discussing politics. Johnson revealed he had been approached last year to run for President of the United States. He told Joe that he was flattered, and it got him thinking that either he had incredible leadership skills or the country was in such a dire situation that they needed a movie star to run the country.
