After retiring from the sport in 1991, the wrestling superstar began training his son Dwayne also known as The Rock, who eventually became one of the biggest figures in the sport – something Rocky describes in his autobiography “Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story” as one of his greatest achievements.
