Soulman, The Rocky Johnson Story by Rocky Johnson with Scott Teal

Soulman, The Rocky Johnson Story by Rocky Johnson with Scott Teal was received direct from the publisher. I grew up a professional wrestling fan (the only true sport I tell people). As such, I do not remember ever seeing Rocky Johnson perform. That being said I remember many of the feuds and angles he was part of so I must have forgotten “the baby face,” since I was always for the bad guy. I would also wager everyone has heard of or seen his son, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, perform in the ring, on television or in action movies. Rocky wrestled back before the World Wrestling Federation (now Entertainment) owned most everything. The wrestling world was broken up into federations and wrestlers moved around if they were popular enough. The book is a true autobiography of a Canadian male who grows up to be a professional wrestler. The book goes from town to town, wrestling against names many of you have heard of. If this sounds like something you or someone you buy gifts for, would like to read, certainly give it a read. 5 stars
