Rewind: Rocky Johnson

Today's generation of wrestling fans probably know him better as the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but Rocky Johnson (1944-2020) was an accomplished pro wrestler in his own right. A former boxer, Johnson held many titles and has the distinction of being the first black Georgia Wrestling Champion. He and his tag team partner Tony Atlas were the first black champions in WWE history. You can read his bio here.
