• How many did you right? Comment below ! 1. His Family Is Steeped In Pro Wrestling You probably know Johnson made his name in the WWE as a pro wrestler in the 1990s and 2000s, but did you know he was literally born into the business? His grandfather, Peter Maivia, was a wrestling star, as was his father, Rocky Johnson. He’s also related to other notable WWE wrestlers, including The Wild Samoans, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga and current WWE Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Below is Johnson’s father. 2. His Grandmother Was A Wrestling Pioneer Not only were Johnson’s grandfather and father pro wrestling stars, his grandmother, Lia Maivia, was a pioneer in the business. She was one of the first female wrestling promoters ever, running Polynesian Pro Wrestling as a “strong-willed businesswoman,” 3. He Moved A Lot As A Kid Being the son of a pro wrestler can mean a lot of instability. Growing up, Johnson lived in a lot of places. He was born in California before his family moved to New Zealand, where he attended elementary school. They then moved to Connecticut, where he went to elementary and middle school. He then lived in Hawaii as a teenager, before moving to Nashville in high school. His family finally settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he finished high school. 4. He Was An Awkward Teenager In 2016, after being named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, Johnson told the magazine he had acne and a “curly half-Afro” as a teen. He said every day after school he would eat doughnuts and cookies, which apparently led to his breakouts. As he shared on Instagram, he was so big as a teen that his fellow high school students thought he was an undercover cop! 5. He Had An Embarrassing Nickname Before he was called “The Rock,” his football teammates at the University of Miami called him “Dewey” Johnson. Even in interviews today, his teammates still refer to him as Dewey. They apparently first heard the nickname when Johnson’s parents came to visitand his mom called him by that name in front of everyone. 6. He Wanted To Join The FBI When Johnson was at Miami, he studied criminology and physiology, earning degrees in both. He told Rolling Stone, “I wanted to work for either the FBI or CIA.” When a professor told him he’d likely need a law degree also, he decided it wasn’t for him. Good call! 7. His Large Tattoo Is Full Of Meaning In 2003, Johnson shocked some people by getting a large tattoo that covers much of his chest and left arm. The tattoo is a partial Pe’a, which is an intricate tattoo males have traditionally gotten in Samoan culture (he’s half-Samoan). Johnson said his tattoo took 60 hours to complete and that it tells the story of his ancestors and his own life. If you’re thinking it looks similar to the tattoo that Johnson’s character, Maui, has in the Disney film “Moana,” you’d be absolutely right! 8. Wrestling Fans Hated Him At First Can you imagine not liking The Rock? When Johnson debuted in WWE as Rocky Maivia in 1996, he wasn’t exactly a fan
