The Rock’s Dad Never Told Him Pro Wrestling Is Scripted

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s influence in the world of professional wrestling is certainly unmatched, as he has accomplished a lot during his career in the industry.

Rocky Johnson and some the Rock

He loves and respects his father very much, even though they don’t always agree.

That said, it looks like his father, Rocky Johnson, never told him that professional wrestling was scripted.

The Rock is a third-generation WWE Superstar, son of Rocky Johnson and grandson of ringleader Peter Maivia.

From a young age, The Rock was involved in the business, even before becoming a wrestler.

While speaking with Bill Apter, pro wrestling legend Tony Atlas, who teamed with Rocky Johnson, revealed that Rocky Johnson had no intention of telling The Rock that pro wrestling was scripted.

It wasn’t until The Rock became a wrestler that he realized the business was scripted.

“No, he wasn’t. I think he didn’t get smart to the business until he actually got in it.

Kayfabe wasn’t just for the fans, it was for family too. I was married to women that I never smartened up (…)

We didn’t know how long we were gonna be with this woman,

so we didn’t want this woman to get p*****off and go and expose the business and destroy our money.”

The Rock also recently launched a major campaign to help those affected by the Maui wildfires.

Many people thought The Rock was a girl when he was young. We’ll have to wait and see when The Rock returns to WWE television.
