Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson opens up about regret over father Rocky Johnson
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson shares his heartfelt regret over unresolved issues with his late father, wrestling legend Rocky 'Soul Man' Johnson, in a touching tribute.
Popularly known as ‘The Rock’ among his fans, Dwayne Johnson has now officially announced his retirement from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
The wrestler, who later turned a Hollywood actor, stated that although he had ‘quietly retired’ from World Wrestling Entertainment, he was open to the fact that he may make a comeback anytime in the future.
Thus, despite being out of the ring for quite sometime now, this is the first time that he has made a public announcement regarding his retirement from the sport.

In an interaction on a chat show named Live with Kelly and Ryan in the States, Johnson said, “I miss wrestling. I love wrestling. I quietly retired from wrestling because I was lucky enough to have a wonderful career and accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. But there’s nothing like a live crowd, live audience, live microphone.”
Notably, his last official match came way back in 2016 in which he had defeated Eric Rowan.
The 47-year-old superstar, who is presently busy promoting his latest film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, was declared the highest-paid actor in the world by Forbes magazine.
Talking about his debut wrestling match at the famous Madison Square Garden, he said, “I had my very first match in the WWE in Madison Square Garden. It was a big pay-per-view and it’s funny because I credit my journey in pro wrestling to getting me to where I am today — especially that particular night.”
