After which he would go on to become an above average wrestler and below average ‘actor’
Obligatory “Rock me like a Hurricane” reference
Who?
Where is Kevin Hart?
Pre Steroid…
Looks like a jabroni to me
Dwayne “the jock” Johnson
Yep
Hey! That some guy is my dad.
He was just playing a roll
The guy looks like wwe wrestler
I look at this photo different than most. As a fan of Rock’s father’s ring work in WWE, I still see him as the kid in the famous photo with his father. They even got that photo into the background in a Hobbs & Shaw scene.
Before steroids
Must be related to Don Johnson.
I always assumed the tattoo meant he attended the University of Texas.
If you aren’t watching Young Rock.. you’re missing out.
Must’ve been hard to get playing time at that time
And not just any old backup… He probably would have played a lot more if he wasn’t behind NFL HOFer Warren Sapp.
He was just a pebble back then…
Without steroids, he was just a bench warmer.
Such a joke of a sport.
The Rock on Monday Night Football
He looks like a narc.
Hilarious hilarious
IIRC he also played for the CFL here in Canada
He played in the CFL for the Calgary Stampeders as well.
Warren Sapp beat him for the position. The Rock said it ended up being the best thing to happen to him (in the long run, of course)
The People’s Lineman
He went to highschool with my math teacher in highschool in Allentown pa ( me skool in NJ )…who ended it up getting arrested for a huge oxy ring
Rockin’ Jockin’ Johnson
I wonder what he’s doing nowadays
That guy looks like he could make it as a wrestler and maybe even a movie star.
Eh, he won’t amount to anything. Just fizzle up and die
Also for the Calgary Stampeders before being cut from the CFL.
That name is much too plain, how on earth will he make it in entertainment?
I think he might have been a high school all American before that too. Miami hurricanes had a loaded ass college team and being a d1 athlete means you’re special either way
He goes by the name The Rock now.
Man, I dunno if he’s gonna make it in the NFL. Hope he’s got a backup plan
I had understood he was the starter until he got hurt. Then Sapp got the spot and the rest is history. I believe he was coached by one of my university head coaches as well. So he either won one or two national championships
Was this before Rocky Miavia?
Looks like that guy The Stone…
Mr. future president the rock
This was before anybody could smell what he was cooking.
Psssh where is he now…
I can’t say for sure if they’re actually related by blood, but he looks a lot like his cousins “The Usos” here.
