Talking about the time of being a ‘Young Rock’, Dwayne Johnson said, “I basically lived on the road with my dad and all these wrestlers. I learned a lot of lessons and watched a lot of cutthroat shit go down in these locker rooms - where I was taught to always be respectful, keep my mouth shut and learn. Especially around Andre.... 👀 Don’t get hurt. Always send the people home happy. Get in our cars, drive to the next city and do it all over again.” He concluded by saying that he will always be grateful for such a wild and eccentric upbringing.
