Biography

Wayde Douglas Bowles, professionally known as Rocky Johnson, was a Canadian-born professional wrestler who left an indelible mark on the world of wrestling. His illustrious career was marked by numerous championship victories, including the prestigious National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Georgia Championship and the NWA Southern Heavyweight Memphis Championship, among many others.

Johnson's remarkable achievements were not limited to his individual success, as he also formed a dynamic tag team partnership with Tony Atlas. This duo made history by becoming the first black tag team to capture the coveted World Tag Team championship in the WWE.

Beyond his impressive wrestling career, Rocky Johnson is perhaps most notable for being the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a renowned American actor and former professional wrestler.
