Dwayne The Rock Johnson is arguably one of the most popular pro-wrestlers of all time. He, along with superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, defined the attitude era of WWE. He left WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in acting and returned in 2011 and has since made sporadic appearances for WWE.

The Rock is very close to his family and comes from a family of wrestlers. Even his father, Rocky Johnson, was a wrestler.

Rock admired his father very much. He was The Rock’s role model growing up. His wrestling name is also after his father’s name, Rocky Johnson.

The Rock’s father was the one who trained him when he decided to make a career in pro-wrestling. Rocky Johnson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008 by his son Dwayne Johnson. Unfortunately, Rocky Johnson passed away on 15th January 2020.

The father and son duo have shared the ring multiple times but never had a match as a team in WWE. 

The Johnson legacy is moving forward in Pro-Wrestling

Dwayne Johnson followed his father’s footsteps into pro-wrestling and became The Rock. Similarly, Dwayne’s daughter Simone Johnson has also entered the pro-wrestling world. She is training in Orlando at WWE Performance Center.

The Rock makes sporadic appearances in WWE and will someday hope to enter the ring alongside his daughter. She will be the first fourth-generation wrestler in WWE.
