I was lucky enough to get to watch him live back in the 80s when he came thru the memphis territory and made the loop up to Evansville. He was an absolute phenom for his time. Chiseled look and completely amazing agility that grabbed your attention with every move. Rest well Soulman....your legacy lives on.

Isn’t it crazy this happens not too long after his autobiography is pulled from the market. I could just imagine how sad The Rock is now(a sitcom about his life growing up is coming soon)
RIP Soul Man Rocky Johnson

I think he's in the same class as guys like Steamboat and Santana as far as babyfaces for life goes.

Sad thing about this is B Brian Blair was talking about Rocky, saying recently when talking to him, Rocky was talking about feeling sick, thinking he had the flu or something, but he kept refusing to go get checked out, saying he would be ok. So apparently, if he wasn't so stubborn about it, and went to a doctor, maybe he'd still be around.
Rock's comment from instagram about his dad's passing. Really well written as well as really heart breaking, realizing the pain he's probably in
I love you.
You broke color barriers, became a ring legend and trail blazed your way thru this world.
I was the boy sitting in the seats, watching and adoring you, my hero from afar.
The boy you raised to always be proud of our cultures and proud of who and what I am.
The boy you raised with the toughest of love.
The intense work.
The hard hand.
The adoring boy who wanted to know only your best qualities.
Who then grew to become a man realizing you had other deep complex sides that needed to be held and understood.
Son to father.
Man to man.
That’s when my adoration turned to respect.
And my empathy turned to gratitude.
Grateful that you gave me life.
Grateful you gave me life’s invaluable lessons.
Dad, I wish I had one more shot to tell you, I love you, before you crossed over to the other side.
But you were ripped away from me so fast without warning.
Gone in an instant and no coming back.
Im in pain.
But we both know it’s just pain and it’ll pass.
Now I’ll carry your mana and work ethic with me, as it’s time to move on because I have my family to feed and work to accomplish.
Finally, I want you to rest your trailblazing soul, Soulman.
Pain free, regret free, satisfied and at ease.
You lived a very full, very hard, barrier breaking life and left it all in the ring.
I love you dad and I’ll always be your proud and grateful son.
Go rest high.
