Before he became the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson was a paint-by-numbers babyface who was immediately and thoroughly rejected by the WWE fans. In this episode, David Shoemaker discusses how three words, “Die Rocky Die” (and two others: “Rocky sucks”), led to Johnson becoming to one of the biggest stars the business has ever seen. He speaks with Ron Simmons and The Godfather, who had a front-row seat to Johnson’s evolution. Host: David Shoemaker Guests: Ron Simmons and Charles “The Godfather” Wright Producers: Brian H. Waters, Ben Cruz, Vikram Patel and Scott Somerville Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
