Before there was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, there was "Soulman" Rocky Johnson, Dwayne's professional wrestler father who once ruled the ring.
In a recently resurfaced photo of "The Rock," we get a rare look at him before he turned into the muscle-machine he is now. In a photo posted to Imgur, Dwayne, clad in a pink three-piece pink, stands next to his WW Hall of Fame father.
Johnson confirmed the authenticity of the photo to The Huffington Post by way of Twitter, writing, "100% legit photo of me and my pops. He's looking like a straight G and I'm lookin' like a 6yr old girl."
"My dad was a trailblazing bad dude in the game," said Johnson in a recent Facebook post. "Becoming the first African-American Champion in almost every pro-wrestling organization he wrestled in."
The Rock describes his father as "one bad dude in the game."
