Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks. One of the major talking points was when he joined the TKO Board of Directors and rang the opening bell at the NYSE. Now, The Great One shared an amazing story of that same day that happened with Triple H.

The 51-year-old spoke on Entertainment Tonight and talked about how Triple H gave him a pleasant surprise. Hunter gave Rocky a tour of the WWE Headquarters building and showed him the memorabilia where all the pictures were hanging on the wall. The Rock saw the picture of his father, Rocky Johnson, and Tony Atlas around the corner and was left shocked.

His father, Rocky Johnson, was one of the most influential people ever to join the business. He became the first-ever Black tag team champion with his partner Tony Atlas in 1983. The Great One always talked about him with respect and admiration for what he had done for the business.

And over in the corner is this incredibly well-lit picture, black-and-white, of my dad and Tony Atlas, the day they made history and became the first Black tag team champions..I have never seen that picture before and I was so choked up... I was really moved.

Like his father and grandfather, The Rock also had an illustrious career, some may even say it was one of the greatest careers in WWE. He is looking to add one more chapter, as he will play an important role in the rivalry between his cousin, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.

The Rock thinks that the wrestling business has completely changed from what it used to be

The wrestling business is reaching new heights, as last year was one of the biggest and most successful years. It has changed over time with global expansion and the rise of the internet and social media. The Rock feels the same about how wrestling has changed from the time his father used to wrestle.

When he saw the picture of his father and Tony Atlas, he realized how wrestling was different back then. The Rock expressed that his father used to wrestle in a field house back then, and years later, the company signed a $5 billion deal with Netflix.

The Rock has been heavily involved in the build-up to the road to WrestleMania. He made amends with The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns in the name of family. It will be interesting to see what happens when the cousins make their appearance on the next episode of SmackDown.
