According to his official WWE bio, The Rock was the first-ever third-generation wrestler in the promotion’s history. He grew up surrounded by professional wrestlers, so it makes sense that we’d see him as a young whippersnapper among famous grapplers like the Junkyard Dog and Andre the Giant. In the pilot episode of Young Rock, we see a 10-year-old Dwayne get a talking-to from Andre the Giant after he mumbles that the sport is fake. Andre picks the boy up and tells him not to use “the F word.”

However, Screen Rant reports that the scene may be the result of some scriptwriters taking a few liberties with the actor’s admittedly star-studded life. The scene was inspired by a similar story from The Rock’s past, but not one in which he was the one using such filthy language. Apparently, a young Dwayne Johnson got angry at a fellow student who called wrestling fake, and he performed a rather rough move on the guy to show him that it isn’t. “Unfortunately, that’s a true story,” Johnson admitted on social media. “His name was Randy E and I piledrived him on the gym floor and got in huge trouble.” So it looks as though a young Rock may not have been the one to profane wrestling by using the F word, but who knows? Maybe he was taught that lesson the same way he showed Randy E.
