Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story
Before there was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, there was "Soulman" Rocky Johnson
At 14, Rocky Johnson left home to seek fortune and, after a short stint in boxing, decided to make professional wrestling his career. He had his first match in 1965 and never looked back. An incredibly agile and talented wrestler for a man his size, he was a featured main-eventer in every territory he worked -- Vancouver, Los Angeles, Florida, New York, and all points in between. He also appeared in wrestling arenas worldwide, including in Canada, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Samoa, and Puerto Rico.
In Soulman, Johnson explores not only his career accomplishments, but also reflects upon what his achievements, as a direct descendant of slaves, mean historically and for Black culture. In the South, he shattered racial barriers when he became the first African-American to win the Southern, Georgia, and Florida heavyweight titles, and in 1983, he teamed with Tony Atlas to become the first all-Black WWWF tag team champions. Rocky sees his greatest accomplishment, however, in his son Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson whom he trained to be a wrestler in 1995 and who is now the highest-paid actor in Hollywood and one of the most-recognized names in the world.
Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story is an in-depth look at the life of a self-made man who wouldn't let anything stand in his way on the road to success.

Soulman is the biography of wrestler Rocky Johnson.
Rocky Johnson was on his way out when I first became a wrestling fan so I don't know a ton about him besides his tag team with Tony Atlas and that he's the father of the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, The Rock. ECW Press offered this up for review so I jumped on it pretty quickly.
The book starts with Rocky's humble beginnings as Wayde Bowles, a poor kid from Nova Scotia. The book takes a little longer than I'd like to get to the wrestling but fortunately Rocky's childhood was interesting. Imagine hitchhiking from Nova Scotia to Toronto with only two bucks in your pocket?
Rocky initially trains to be a boxer but gets wrapped up in the wrestling business. From there, Rocky bounces back and worth to every territory on the map for decades, reaching the WWF and gradually sliding into retirement as injuries piled up.
This book has a lot going for it. Rocky comes off as a humble guy. He doesn't make himself sound like the greatest wrestler of all time and is honest about all the mistakes he made along the way. Outside of the chapter devoted to him, he also doesn't spend a lot of time talking about The Rock.
I had no idea Rocky Johnson was as well-traveled as he was, nor how he tried to run a promotion in Hawaii with his father in law, Peter Maivia. Their relationship was touching at time. I also have to wonder what Rocky would have accomplished in the WWF if he hadn't been saddled with making sure Tony Atlas got where he needed to be. Hell, if Rocky wasn't so agreeable for a lot of his career, he might have been world champion at some point.
Speaking of Tony Atlas, the only time Rocky comes across as angry is when he refutes some things Tony Atlas said about him in his book. Rocky didn't care for Mike Graham either but I imagine a lot of wrestler did.
Soulman made me a bigger fan of Rocky Johnson than before I read the book. That's a sign of a great wrestling biography. Four out of five stars.

I have never been a fan or even followed professional wrestling. Most of the names here were unfamiliar to me including that of Rocky Johnson. I first heard of him from someone who knew him during his wrestling career. They told me he was a champion wrestler from Amherst, Nova Scotia, and the father of Dwayne Johnson, often listed as the number 1 movie star at the box office. I have long enjoyed Dwayne’s action and comedy roles.
I grew up in a town only 100 miles from Amherst and now live only 41 miles away from the town where Rocky Johnson spent his youth. My own hometown was quite segregated while Rocky was growing up not far away. As a Black Canadian he does not mention any racial problems he might have encountered in Amherst.
Rocky Johnson, formerly known as Wade Bowles, was born in Amherst, N.S. In 1944. He changed his name while training to become a professional wrestler in 1965. He left home as a young teenager to escape a drunken and violent stepfather. He has traced his ancestry all the way back to a man captured in Africa and brought to Massachusetts as a slave,1761. After being freed he acquired 100 acres of land near Amherst. The other branch of his family were descendants of Black Loyalists who came to Nova Scotia following the U.S. Revolutionary War.
At around the age of 15, he hitchhiked to Toronto. In Toronto he worked at several menial jobs, falsifying his age to 16 to drive a fish truck. During his time in Toronto, he began training to become a wrestler, working with promoters, trainers and stars of the wrestling circle whose names are well known in that world. Rocky soon found fame throughout North America.
He became the NWA Georgia Champion, the NWA Southern Memphis Champion and many other wins and honours. He was part of the first Black Team to win the WWF Tag Team Championship. One of his fellow wrestlers was Peter Maivia, an America Samoan who was married to Lea Maivia, a Samoan wrestling promoter. Their daughter, Ata, became Rocky’s second wife, and the mother of Dwayne Johnson. Dwayne spent some time as a wrestler, trained by his father, before moving on to become one of the biggest and most popular Hollywood stars.
This book should be of great interest to anyone wanting to know what goes on inside the wrestling business. It introduced me to a Canadian who should be better known. Rocky Johnson always puts a positive spin on his life while telling his story.

A native of Nova Scotia, Wayde Bowles left home at 14 in order to pursue a career in first boxing, then professional wrestling, starting in the 1950’s and continuing well into the 1980’s, helping the then-World Wrestling Federation (WWF) become the gigantic entertainment company it is today as the WWE. Never heard of Wayde Bowles? That could be because he wrestled under the name Rocky Johnson. If you still haven’t heard of him, then maybe you have heard of his son. His son followed in his footsteps into professional wrestling, then transformed into a movie actor. The son’s name – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
With that introduction out of the way, this memoir written by the senior Johnson with wrestling author Scott Teal is a very good look at the life of Rocky Johnson in the days when professional wrestling was much more about the regional territories and when wrestlers of color, especially black wrestlers, were working hard to eliminate being cast into stereotypical, often insulting, roles. Rocky was one of the trailblazers for this new type of black wrestler who gave fans excellent shows without resorting to racial stereotypes.
He writes about not only his childhood and early life with good detail, he also gives readers who are not familiar with the business of professional wrestling an excellent, in-depth look at the industry. He was well-traveled in his career, working in many different regions in the United States and in Canada. He describes the promotion and management of the industry in great depth. Readers will also learn about the communication between the wrestlers in the ring as they ensure that they follow the planned show discussed before heading into the ring. A reader will also learn about how the “championship belts” get distributed to either babyfaces (good guys) or heels (bad guys) in order to maintain the highest level of interest. This was the best aspect of the book.
Rocky also dedicates a chapter to the success of his son, but also talks about so many important people in the business – both inside and outside the ring – that this could almost be considered a Who’s Who book of professional wrestling from the 1960’s and 1970’s. Rocky also stays very positive throughout the book by never truly insulting or badmouthing anyone. He does have some negative comments about Tony Atlas when the two of them were tag team partners and Ole Anderson for some of his racist comments, but in both of these cases, Rocky explains why he felt this way. Otherwise, he writes with fond memories of his time in the sport and with great pride at the success of Dwayne.
Any wrestling fan who is familiar with Rocky’s work or who wants to learn more about the business at that time should pick up this book. Even at 360 pages, it is a page turner that won’t take a long time to read and is very entertaining as well.
I wish to thank ECW Press for providing a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Soulman is the memoir of professional wrestler, “Soulman” Rocky Johnson.
Born Wayde Bowles in the small Nova Scotia town of Amherst (a short four hour drive from my own hometown), Johnson left home at age fourteen to pursue life in Toronto. After a short stint as a boxer (a frequent sparring partner of George Foreman), Bowles found himself falling into professional wrestling. Johnson would travel all over Canada working for Maple Leaf Wrestling in Toronto, Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling in the Maritimes and Stampede Wrestling in Calgary.
Already a popular performer in Canada, Johnson’s popularity would explode when he began working the territory system in the US. Rocky would spend time in California, Hawaii, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Tennessee among other spots. He would even travel overseas working in Japan and Korea. Everywhere he went, he would prove to be a valuable asset given his exciting style and ability to work well with nearly everyone he shared the ring with. His desire to avoid backstage politics helped to endear him to promoters even if he would occasionally stand his ground when he felt he was being wronged or used incorrectly.
Throughout the book, Rocky is very honest about much of the racism he had to deal with over his career. While he said he refused to use the “race card” if someone received preferential treatment over him, the number of times Rocky would be asked to be shown eating watermelon and fried chicken in interviews would be shocking if you didn’t remember that the bulk of his career took place in the 60s and 70s. Rocky’s steadfast persistence to be treated as an athlete first and foremost kept him from being involved in some truly horrendous gimmicks and stereotypical roles. He recalls one instance in Memphis in the 70s where Jerry “The King” Lawler wanted to garner heel heat by whipping him with a strap in the middle of the ring; something Rocky noted would have been a cheap way to get heat.
Aside from a few offhand remarks about his son, Rocky doesn’t really talk about Dwayne until about three quarters of the way through the book. He touches on the troubles Dwayne had finding a character before morphing into the ultra-confident heel character that would propel him to the next level. I’m glad he didn’t spend a whole lot of time here because even though The Rock tends to overshadow Johnson himself, it would have detracted from Johnson’s own personal story - we already have many books and documentaries about The Rock.
The book wraps up with Johnson’s time in Mid-Atlantic territory working under a mask as Sweet Ebony Diamond before a brief appearance in WWE teaming with Tony Atlas where the two would go on to become the first black tag team champions in the promotion’s history. Despite their success, their time together was tumultuous as it was marred by Tony’s reckless actions outside the ring. Vince McMahon assigned Johnson as Tony’s defacto babysitter but there’s only so much you can do for someone who is unwilling to change before you lose control of your own life. Johnson spends a few pages near the end picking apart a few of the negative things Tony had said about him in his own book. This had the potential to be petty, but Johnson is more concerned with clearing his name and less about retaliating with mud-slinging.
Soulman is an anomaly in the world of pro-wrestling books in that it isn’t bursting with crazy road stories nor does it feature a retired wrestler with an axe to grind. That’s not a complaint nor is it a mark against the book, but rather a refreshing experience. Often overshadowed by his mega-successful son, Rocky Johnson still has a story worth telling, especially when geared toward those who want to read and learn more about the territorial wrestling system at its absolute height.

I recently read Self Help: Life Lessons from the Bizarre Wrestling Career of Al Snow, which was incredibly entertaining. So, I figured I would continue the professional wrestling theme and pick up this read. I am not familiar with the stereotypical “popular” and “famous” professional wrestlers having never followed the sport myself. However, I am extremely familiar with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, son of author Rocky Johnson and arguably a huge marketing draw to get consumers to pick up this book as Dwayne pens the book’s foreword as highlighted on the book’s cover. Yet, despite this draw, this book fails to entertain.
Rocky Johnson undoubtedly had a rewarding and successful career in professional wrestling, travelling across territories and continents to bring his talent to fans everywhere. Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story is written to collectively capture Rocky’s life, yet the timeline is jumbled and entirely confusing. Rocky’s stories relied on readers having some previous understanding of the industry and industry language and lacked the entertainment factor. For someone that spent their career in the wrestling entertainment field I was hoping Rocky would have more hilarious tales and trials from raising a kid and spending many laboring decades as a professional wrestler. In addition, given the draw to his now world-famous son, very little ink was dedicated to Dwayne and Rocky’s relationship and upbringing.

The Rock's Dad Tells His Story - With An Introduction From The Rock. If you're a fan of professional wrestling, you need to read this book. If you're a fan of memoirs generally, you need to read this book. If you're just a fan of good, you need to read this book. No, this book won't educate you on any particular issue of great national or international importance. But it will tell you the story of one man's journey from being the grandson of a slave to being a Champion level professional wrestler across numerous territories and even in the early era of the now WWE's rise to dominance in the industry. The men Johnson interacted with and counted as friends are almost a Who's Who of legendary professional wrestlers and body builders, and he tells the stories of most of them. And yes, he even spends one chapter directly speaking of his son and his accomplishments before, during, and after WWE. Truly a remarkable tale, and absolutely very much recommended - even if you know nothing at all of professional wrestling and only know Rocky as Dwayne's Dad.

I did not know much about Rocky Johnson's career, being a fan after his WWF career. This was a nice book to follow his wrestling career and the struggles he went through to become a major star. His stories have humor and emotion at times.

Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story by Rocky Johnson was a book I went into knowing very little. I saw The Rock had written the foreword, and it wasn't until I started reading that I realized, "Oh, that would make sense because Rocky is his dad." Anyway, that's about me, not the book. This is the story of Rocky's career in professional wrestling. He started young, then worked n a variety of regional promotions through the years. Throughout, he paints a vivid picture of what the life of a wrestler was like back then, and it wasn't always easy. It was lots of grinding to get to the top, and that required a lot of travel which meant that he wasn't home a lot. He also speaks to what it was like to be one of the first black wrestlers. This impacted how he was treated, as well as how he was pushed in different promotions. Given all the bells and whistles that come with wrestling these days, I find it interesting to read about what it was like "back when," and it was especially interesting given Rocky's perspective. Throughout he paints a honest picture of his story. Sometimes that means he brings to light where he struggled, and that makes his story all the more real. I literally only read this because it was recommended to me by the publisher (thanks ECW Press), so it was a surprise to read such a well-told and interesting story about a wrestling legend. Thanks to NetGalley for the look at this recent release.

I knew almost nothing about Rocky Johnson's going into this, but had to assume the wrestling world during that time would be quite interesting. I was right. There is plenty of fun stories in here about wrestlers and behind the scenes antics.
I will say that I always find autobiographies have to be taken with a grain of salt and for some reason this one seems even more selectively told, in my opinion. That doesn't take away from the book, but some lines do repeat a few times and I do wonder how "real" everything is.
