I'll be ok, I still have the most important job in the world, and that's being a dad, everything I do is for my daughters, I'll always make sure they're ok no matter what I have to do or sacrifice, it's never about me, it's always about them

The Rock’s PPV Debut

21 years ago today on November 17, 1996, The Rock made his WWF PPV debut on Survivor Series. He wrestled against Goldust and Crush in a triple threat match.

Wow what a @WWE rookie memory. I had the world’s WORST wrestling outfit EVER and so broke I used to cut my own hair (as you can tell by this beautifully f*cked up pineapple cut I used to give myself) yet…
NYC and Madison Square Garden embraced me like a son. #grateful. https://t.co/idS0lLZzXD

The Rock’s Daughter

The Rock’s 16-year old daughter, Simone Garcia Johnson, was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter and talked about wanting to pursue wrestling in the future.

You appear to be a big fan of wrestling, especially female wrestling. What is it about the sport that you love?

It’s a sport that is unlike anything else in the world. There’s just a certain amount of passion that every move and match requires, and that’s so admirable. It’s definitely something I’ve thought about and want to pursue.
