“Just delivering flowers to heaven to my old man, Rocky “Soulman” Johnson,” he began in the caption.
The Black Adam actor wrote, “My dad, along with 'Mr USA,' Tony Atlas made pro wrestling history by becoming the first ever Black Heavyweight Tag Team Champions for the @WWE.
“He came up the hard way, and trail-blazed for all of us men of color - in any sport & level of entertainment. But it was also very important to him to pave the way for all men, any color - it didn’t matter,” explained Dwayne.
The Jumanji actor shared, “My regret in this life is that I never had a chance to say goodbye to him, because he died suddenly.”
