Rocky Johnson, born in 1944, joined the WWF in the early 1980s after success in the NWA. In 1983, he and Tony Atlas, as “The Soul Patrol,” became the first African-American WWF World Tag Team Champions, holding the titles until 1984. After retiring in 1991, Rocky trained his son, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, helping him enter the WWF. He appeared occasionally, like at WrestleMania 13 in 1997, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008 by The Rock, before passing away in 2020.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson debuted in 1996 as “Rocky Maivia,” a third-generation wrestler tied to Rocky and the Samoan Anoa’i family. After turning heel in 1997 and becoming “The Rock,” he rose to fame in the Attitude Era, winning his first WWF Championship in 1998 and accumulating ten world title reigns. Known for rivalries with Steve Austin, Triple H, and John Cena, he main-evented multiple WrestleManias. After shifting to Hollywood in 2004, he returned sporadically, winning the WWE Championship in 2013 and appearing as “The Final Boss” in 2024, building on his father’s legacy as part of a pioneering wrestling dynasty.
