Dwayne Johnson is in need of some serious thoughts and prayers at this current moment. It seems that yesterday, his father and fellow professional wrestler, Rocky Johnson has passed away.
The man they call “The Rock” is one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time. However, what some may not know is that Johnson actually learned his skills from his father, Rocky. In fact, his father was a true pioneer in the pro wrestling world.
Rocky “Soulman” Johnson was truly a legend in the WWE, ending up in its Hall of Fame.
