Ziggy Vercetti Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 WWE is saddened to learn that Rocky Soul Man Johnson (born Wayde Douglas Bowles), a WWE Hall of Famer, former World Tag Team Champion, and father of Dwayne The Rock Johnson, has passed away at age 75. Johnsons sports-entertainment career began in the mid-1960s when he made a memorable impression in the National Wrestling Alliance. However, Johnson found his highest levels of success when he began his WWE tenure in 1983. The physically imposing and wildly charismatic Johnson had several memorable rivalries with the likes of Greg The Hammer Valentine, Don Muraco and Adrian Adonis. He found his greatest success when he teamed up with Tony Atlas as The Soul Patrol. The two men became the first African-American World Tag Team Champions in WWE history when they defeated The Wild Samoans on Dec. 10, 1983. The Soul Man retired from the ring in 1991, but his imprint continued to be felt on WWE for years to come. Post-retirement, Johnson had a hand in training his son, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The Rock would become one of the biggest stars in the history of sports-entertainment and carried on his fathers legacy with pride. In 2008, Johnson achieved the highest honor in sports-entertainment when he was inducted by The Rock into the WWE Hall of Fame where he will be forever enshrined as one of sports-entertainments most influential performers. WWE extends its condolences to Johnsons family, friends and fans.

Spamming Nooblet Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Very sorry to hear about this. R.i.p. When I was a kid, The Rock was one of my wrestling heroes. Unfortunately, today he lost probably his biggest hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
