Dwayne Johnson is
just a bad guy.

He always has been.

And when someone
tries to kill you,

you don't forget.

And you don't want that
person in the White House.

Wait, so you do know this guy?

We met briefly in Hawaii.

Did you really try and kill him?

No. Come on, of course not.

- Well, so who is he?
- What happened?

You know when you're on top,
somebody will come along

and try to knock you down a peg?

Oh, yes.

In 1984, my dad, Rocky Johnson,

and his tag team
partner Tony Atlas

had just won the
WWE Tag Team titles

and we were all riding high.

My dad was making more money

than he'd ever made in his life.

And one of the first things
he did was call the guy

all the wrestlers got
their jewelry from,

legendary heel manager,

Classy Freddie Blassie.

The finest Israeli
diamonds in Hawaii.

And one of the first
things I did was go on

a shopping spree at Toys "R" Us.

Vince McMahon had
made my dad a star,

and he wasn't only
making our lives better,

he had my grandmother's back

as she dealt with federal
charges for an incident

involving rival
promoter Greg Yao.

It's a screw job, Vince.

Whatever we can do
to support you, Lia,

just let me know.

These feds, they
don't understand

the ways of our business.

You know they're listening
to this call right now.

- No way.
- They'd have to get their heads

out of their asses first.

Good.

Vince was always
true to his word

and continued to
allow some of his guys

to work for my grandmother,

which was crucial
to her business.

His WWF stars wrestled
on her weekly show,

which aired on TV in
Hawaii every Saturday.

Mr. Fuji throws salt
on King Tonga's eyes!

That's gotta sting!

Wait a minute, Jake's
pointing at his bag.

What's in the bag?

Oh, my God, it's Desdemona!

Jake places his
snake, Desdemona,

on a knocked-out
Slaughter's chest,

adding insult to injury.

Rocky with the elbow to Sheik.

And George "The Animal"
Steele is going wild.

Rocky dives for the tag.

Tony Atlas is coming in
like a house on fire.

Tony! Tony! Tony! Tony!

- He body-presses Sheik!
- What a specimen!

One, two, three.

The Soul Patrol
has done it again.

- Ooh!
- Yeah! Go Dad!

Wait, these aren't
potato ridges.

They're Ruffles, baby.

Only name brand for us now.

- Whoo!
- Wow!

Things were great.

We were living in
a nice apartment

eating name-brand snacks.

And the clothes...

I felt pretty damn cool

being the son of a WWF champ.

Hey, how much can
your dad bench?

I don't know, but it's a lot.

One time, I saw him
pick up a refrigerator.

- Whoa.
- Whoa.

I saw Rocky pull a
knife on a bunch of kids

who had stolen
Dewey's boogie board.

Whoa.

And then my dad grabs Steele

Whoa.

So Sheik jumps in.

Then my dad starts
pummeling Sheik.

My dad tags in Tony who pins
Sheik and the announcers go,

"The Soul Patrol
has done it again!"

Whoa.

Sorry.

Julien here. New kid.

My family just moved in
from St. Paul, Minnesota.

- Oh, my God.
- That's him.

- Julien.
- That's him.

And he came out of
the gates swingin'.

How do we know that Rocky
Johnson is really your dad?

- What?
- I'm just saying.

Have any of you ever seen Rocky?

Yeah.

Sebi, you just
said you saw my dad

pull a knife on some bullies.

Well, now that I think about it,

it could have just been a
supportive man you were with.

Has your dad ever dropped
you off at school?

No, 'cause I take the bus.

- That's weird.
- Son of a champ takes the bus.

Just saying.

No one had ever
challenged me like that,

and it got to me.

So the Rainbow Warriors
certainly have their work

cut out for them.

Coming up on "Terry
and the Chief,"

Lia Maivia, in-studio live.

Lia, the whole island is buzzing

about the live wrestling event
you're putting on next month.

Can you give us any details?

Of course, Terry.

The Backyard Brawl-B-Q will
be held at Aloha Stadium

with the biggest
stars in the business:

André the Giant, Soul
Patrol, Ric Flair,

Roddy Piper, Jake "The Snake."

Oh, and so many more...

Mrs. Maivia, you can't be here.

Again, you are
under house arrest.

- How did you find me?
- You're on the radio.

- Let's go.
- But this is for my business.

You're about to go on
trial for racketeering

and extortion charges
against Greg Yao.

You're not to conduct
business of any kind.

Fine, I'll call my white lawyer

and see what he says about that.

Yes. Great.

I very much encourage
you to do so.

Good. I will.

Tickets are going
fast. Call 808...

Mrs. Maivia!

157-8922!

The FBI can be ruthless,
as I know from researching

the role of Elliot Ness,

which I didn't wind up getting
because the casting director

- was playing mind games.
- Mm.

- So you know then.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, like I was
saying, when you're on top

like my grandmother was,
people come for you, man.

- Hmm.
- When she was getting ready

for her court case,
my dad and Tony,

well, they were really embracing

the perks of being champs.

The number one rule
is no matter what,

under any circumstances,
never, ever

feed them after midnight. Yeah.

Hey, nice necklace, Rock.

What is that, a bronze coyote?

- Oh, no, brother.
- It's a golden lion.

Yes, it is.

You live your life, brother.
I just got myself a waterbed.

Hey, I heard that's like
sleeping in the ocean.

- I wouldn't know.
- See, I don't go near the ocean.

But I do mess with a waterbed.

The guy even gave me
a champion's discount.

King Titan's Luxury Goods,
they'll hook you up.

André.

Hey.

Hey, good to see you.

Pat Patterson.

Ah, Rocky.

Guess who was just
talking about you?

- Who?
- Nobody!

"Nobody!"

Ah, Pat loved that joke.

You know, he was tag team
partners with my grandfather,

High Chief Peter Maivia.

And Pat was the first
openly gay wrestler.

And at that time in pro
wrestling, it wasn't easy.

They would mess with him
and talk behind his back.

Look at his jacket.

So my grandfather went up to Pat

in a crowded locker room...

Good luck tonight, Pat.

That was my grandfather's
way of saying,

"If you mess with Pat,
then you mess with me."

Mm-hmm.

No one wanted to mess
with the High Chief.

He was the baddest
dude in the room.

Bobby.

I have an important
announcement from Lia.

- Testing, testing.
- One, two, three.

Bob, are you recording?

- Yes.
- Good.

Hello. I wish I could be
with you in person today,

but my white lawyer has said

I can't conduct any
wrestling business.

I will sort this
out, but until then,

I won't be able to
run any meetings.

And I'll be in touch
soon. How do I turn...

Uh, these used pancakes

are from the gentleman
in the corner booth.

Enjoy the leftovers, boys.

Didn't want them to go to waste.

- Greg Yao.
- What are you doing here?

I've been up for three
days celebrating.

Celebrating.

Wait, what was I
celebrating again?

You know what, you
wouldn't have the balls

to show up in this
diner if Lia were here.

- Well, she's not here.
- But I am.

With Jessica and Kristen.

It... it's Kir-sten.

I'm never gonna
remember that, baby.

Wait, celebrating
your family's demise!

That's what I was gonna say.

That's what I've been
up for three days doing.

While my grandmother had her
hands full with Greg Yao,

I was dealing with
my own problem.

Dad, can you sign this for me?

Sure.

- What's that for?
- There's a kid at school

who doesn't believe
that Dad is my dad.

What? Of course I'm your dad.

I know, but he
doesn't believe me.

Oh, honey, don't let
that kid bother you.

But get used to it.

You see, I'm on top,
which means you're on top.

Naturally, people are
gonna wanna challenge you.

Here, hand it over like this.

So they can see the
family resemblance.

Hi.

How you folks doing? Anything
catch your eye so far?

Yes, uh...

We are interested in a waterbed.

My tag team partner, Tony Atlas,

said he got one here.

Rocky Johnson.

Wow, I'm a huge
"Soul Patrol" fan.

- Oh, thank you.
- That last match was awesome.

When Tony press-slammed
the Sheik.

Yeah.

But I kind of roughed
Sheik up before that.

- Set Tony up.
- Yeah. Ingrid?

Let's get a
"Champion's Discount"

for Mr. Atlas' partner here.

Okay. I love Tony Atlas.

Yo, Julien, you want proof
that Rocky Johnson's my dad?

Here.

That's a cute photo
that you could've gotten

at a meet-and-greet.

You see, I also
have a signed photo

with me and Rocky.

Does this mean he's my dad?

No.

I also have one with
me and Johnny Carson.

Whoa!

Also not my dad.

Oh, ho, so Julien
was that kind of kid.

- The worst, right?
- The worst.

I totally get why you
tried to kill him.

I never tried to kill him.

Oh, right. Right.

- Like at all.
- Okay.

I'll be... I'll be right out.

Hope.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to take
the woman I love.

My woman.

I prayed for this moment.

Bo still loves Hope!

Honey.

I need you to take
over the business.

- What?
- Just temporarily.

The slimy FBI put a ankle ring
on me to track me like a dog,

so I can't work while my
court case is pending.

Have you talked to
Herman about this?

- Who?
- Your white lawyer.

Yes, yes. He agrees.

While I'm dealing
with the trial,

I need you to make sure
everything runs smoothly.

If anything jeopardizes
this business,

Greg Yao wins.

- But...
- Hold on.

"Days" is back.

You're not gonna marry Welch.

- I'm not gonna let that happen.
- Stop me.

I knew he'd stop the wedding.

Maybe Rocky should
get a motorcycle.

Running the business
will be easy.

You oversee the Saturday matches

and the Backyard
Brawl-B-Q live event.

But I've never done
anything like this.

I can't just come
in and run the...

Yes, you can.

You've been by my
side the whole time.

The business is in your blood.

That's true.

I have watched you and dad
do this my entire life.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Good. And remember.

When the wrestlers
come and tell you ideas

about their persona,

just say, "I'll think about it."

And then never think about it.

My mom gave me the breakdown
of this Saturday's matches

and they're basically
the same as last week's.

Hey, it's a well-oiled machine.

You got this, babe.
You're gonna do great.

I'm talking Pan-Am, right?

You gotta get in there.
I'm on that Nasdaq...

Okay, everyone,
let's all take a seat

and get started.

Sheik, are you looking
for the bathroom?

No. I'm giving myself a tour.

Let's just all stay
in the living room.

Hey, man, pass this
coffee to Randy?

Yeah, got you, brother.

Yeah.

That's for you.

Ooh, yeah.

Great coffee, Tone.

Welcome, boss.

Hey.

I made that coffee, man.

Sorry, brother.

- It's nice.
- Thank you.

Was that so hard?

Okay, let's get to business.

Um, as you know, I'm
temporarily taking over

for my mom while she
handles her legal issues.

Uh, so let's go through
Saturday's match.

- Ata?
- Yes, Sika?

I've an idea I wanna try
called "Touched by a Ghost."

See, I dye my hair all white.

Either I'm a ghost
or I'm a warrior

who fought ghosts and
survived, but I paid a price.

My white hair.

I always carry the mark.

That's deep.

Okay, well, maybe...

And I was also thinking,

I know I'm super strong and all,

but what if I had a weakness,

and that weakness was feet?

- Women's feet!
- You know what, Tony?

- I thi...
- What if I ate some bad beans

and magically become smart?

You know what?

These are great ideas.

How 'bout we all write them down

and I'll think about it?

- I...
- Bob has pens and paper.

I write them...

I'm already taking notes.

Um, hey, that's my pad, okay?

That has a personal message
from a lady on it, okay?

That's a note from my mother.

Please, that's from my mother!

Just ignore him, baby.

It doesn't matter what
this Julien kid thinks.

Except it does.

Kids are starting
to believe him.

Well, fine, then I'll
just come to school

with you tomorrow and
show him my stretch marks.

Uh, you know what?

I think I'm good.

Mr. Fuji.

Again with the salt to the eyes.

Look who's back.

It's Desdemona!

Jake "The Snake" adds
insult to injury.

Now that my mom was in charge,

she saw the wrestling
matches in a new light.

And all she could think about
were ways to improve them.

He body-presses Valentine!

His signature move.

- Tony pins Greg Valentine.
- Yeah!

And the Soul Patrol wins again.

Dad!

Ata.

- Pat!
- It's so good to see you.

Oh.

So good to see you.

You remember my son, Dewey?

Oh, look at this little man.

He reminds me so much of Peter.

One day, you will be a champ.

Huh? Like your father.

And your grandfather, hmm?

It is in your blood.
You understand?

- Pat was right.
- It was in my blood.

And I knew what I needed to do.

And so did my mom.

Why are you looking at
the guys' suggestions?

You're not actually
considering their ideas?

Their ideas aren't great.

But they're not wrong to want
to do something different.

Doesn't it feel like we keep
repeating the same thing?

I feel like I am.

Babe, I do all that selling.

Tony gets the hot tag
and the big finish.

And that's what the
people remember.

It's crazy.

I do 99% of the work and
he gets all the glory.

I mean, we're both
tag team champ...

Where's my belt?

Oh, my God.

Whoa.

Is that the WWF Tag Team belt?

Yep. Yo, Julien?

Just thought I'd wear
a belt to school today.

My dad's championship
belt. - Whoa.

Did you also get one of
these at a meet-and-greet?

No.

Huh, so how do you
think I got it then?

I guess Rocky Johnson
really is your dad.

And don't forget it.

But it's not like
it's your belt.

Say what?

You didn't win it.

You're not a wrestler.

Not yet.

But I will be.

It's in my blood.

Oh, yeah?

Prove it.

Let's take this to the yard.

Great work on
Saturday's matches.

I mean, I just
executed your vision.

Exactly.

Here's a breakdown
for next weekend.

And this week you have to
do the "Wrestling Roundup"

on the "Terry and
the Fake Chief Show."

This is the same as last week.

And the week before.

- Mr. Fuji's throwing salt again.
- No, see?

He's throwing salt in
Sergeant Slaughter's eyes.

But why is he
throwing salt at all?

Because he wants to win.

I mean, what's his backstory?

Was he a failed chef?

Did critics say his
food was too bland,

which caused his
restaurant to close,

and now he just carries salt
with him wherever he goes?

No, he just throws
it because he has it.

Maybe we could create more
history for these guys.

Get fans even more invested
in the story lines.

It's like "Days of Our Lives."

Every soap character
has a backstory.

A betrayal.

A secret twin. A
hidden love child.

And we eat it up.

We could be doing the
same thing with wrestling.

Wrestling's never
been more popular.

Why change it?

It's not changing it.

It's just building on
what's already there.

I really think we've
got a chance to...

- You know what?
- I'll think about it.

Fresh-brewed coffee

will brighten up your day.
Start your morning with a...

All right, this is the
classic ladder match.

First person to
climb up the ladder

and get the belt wins!

Which will be me.

This is the wrestling ring.

We can't go outside these lines.

Nothing to the face or
nuts for obvious reasons.

Here, read this.

In this corner, weighing
in at 91 1/2 pounds,

future wrestler and undisputed
son of Rocky Johnson,

Dewey Douglas Johnson!

And in the other
corner, Montana Julien.

I'm from Minnesota.

Let's have a clean match.

Ding, ding, ding!

Ow! What the...

Go, Dewey!

You can do it!

Get... ugh!

Oh.

Yes!

Whoa.

Come help your champion!

So I beat him in a
schoolyard match,

and that's what he means
by "I tried to kill him."

He's the one who pushed the
ladder out from under you.

And there I was,
dangling from that tree

all because I let
that little punk

get underneath my skin.

When really, he was just jealous

and wanted to knock
me down a peg.

He had nothing to lose,
everything to gain.

- Just like now.
- Totally.

And now you have the
much thicker skin.

And there's no way I'd
let that happen to me now.

So what happened
after the fight?

Well, the school
called my parents

and I got into a lot of trouble.

Mm, for starting a fight?

No, for stealing the
janitor's ladder.

He got stuck up on the
roof for a couple of hours.

Someone call my wife.

Hi, honey.

It's me, your
wife, Mrs. Janitor.

My wife's name is Gloria.

Just bring me my ladder.

Hey, hey!

Stop throwing nuts.

And I wasn't the only
one in the family

who let someone get
under their skin.

So today, we're talking to
some very special guests,

the WWF Tag Team champions,
Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson.

So guys, you've both got
great charisma, great bodies.

Rocky, you're a workhorse.

You got moves on moves.

Hey, thank you, Terry.

- You know, I really like...
- But Tony,

you come into the ring.

And you lift
the guy over your head.

And that's it. You
only have the one move.

And the audience is
eating out of your hand.

I know. That's all I gotta do.

So you're taking on
Rowdy Roddy Piper

and George "The Animal" Steele

at the Backyard Brawl-B-Q.

What can we expect
from the Soul Patrol?

Well, um, whatever it is,

I'm sure it will involve
me doing 99% of the work

and Tony lifting
a guy at the end.

Do I sense some tension here?

Yeah. What's up, Rock?

You mad at me,

or did you get up on the
wrong side of the waterbed?

For the finest waterbeds,

check out King
Titan's Luxury Goods.

No, I'm not mad.

I'm just speaking the truth.

I start the match, grind
our opponents down.

Then you come in at the very end

and get the pin.

Rocky does the work.

Tony gets the credit.

Well, I don't know
about you, Terry,

but I'm sensing some
trouble in paradise.

Why don't we take a break

and give these two
time to cool off?

In the meantime, we're
taking your calls.

That was amazing.

You guys played that perfectly.

Oh, Sidney Poitier over here.

That was some
great acting, Rock.

- I totally bought it.
- Thanks, Tone.

You weren't too
bad yourself there.

Because my mom
loved soap operas,

she understood that
the best story lines

always came from
a kernel of truth.

Wow.

The phone lines are blowing up.

Looks like the fans
are buying it too.

This tension

is gonna get everyone invested
in your match at the Brawl-B-Q.

I'm planning something
big for you guys.

I've got Lia on Line 2?

She wants to know what
the hell is going on.

Integrating
out-of-the-ring drama

was something that
would eventually become

a fixture in the world
of pro wrestling.

My mom and a few
other visionaries,

they were well
ahead of their time.

But she still had her
challenges ahead of her.

- Hm.
- So, hey.

We had the team do some
digging on this Julien guy.

He's a real piece of work.

He's a chiropractor
with two stars on Yelp,

divorced, one son.

He's been banned
from the Olive Garden

for complaining too much.

And apparently he
has tweeted about you

every day since you announced
you were running for president.

Uh, "Who actually knows if
The Rock loves America?"

Oh.

Uh, "How do we know
he's not on steroids?"

Ooh.

"No way that was him
singing in 'Moana.'"

My favorite.

Well, that's been a nice,
fun trip down memory lane.

I have an interview to prep for.

Uh, oh, it's a kitten video.

"The Rock hates kittens."
Of course, yeah.

I think that's a good idea.
