Longtime NWA Great & The Rock's Dad -
Rocky Johnson Is Coming To Fanfest!

A former champion in many different NWA territories in the 60s, 70s and 80s, "Soulman" Rocky Johnson returns to Charlotte for the first time in almost 30 years at our NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend August 5-8!

Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame two years ago by his son (former WWE superstar-turned-movie star "The Rock,") Johnson last wrestled in the Carolinas in the early-1980s, wearing a mask as Sweet Ebony Diamond. He won the Mid-Atlantic Television title in the summer of 1981, defeating Greg Valentine in the finals of a tournament in Raleigh, NC. The two would go on to have a memorable series of championship bouts.

Johnson was also champion in many NWA promotions during the territorial days including Detroit, Florida, Georgia, Los Angeles, Memphis, San Francisco, Texas and the Pacific Northwest. Later in 1983, he tagged with Tony "Mr. USA" Atlas to form "The Soul Patrol" and capture the WWF World Tag Team belts. He was a star wherever he went.
