Rocky Johnson, born Wayde Douglas Bowles on August 24, 1944, in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada, was a Canadian professional wrestler and father of actor and wrestling superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Starting his career in the 1960s, Johnson became known for his strength, charisma, and athleticism, competing across various wrestling territories before joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE).
In 1983, he made history alongside Tony Atlas when they became the first Black tag team to win the WWF World Tag Team Championship, breaking barriers in the industry. Nicknamed “Soulman,” Johnson was celebrated for his trailblazing role and contributions to wrestling’s growth.
After retiring from in-ring competition in the early 1990s, he focused on training and supporting his son’s career, helping pave the way for The Rock’s success. Rocky Johnson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008. He passed away in 2020, leaving a lasting legacy.
