Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is the biggest star in Hollywood right now. And Joe Rogan is the biggest podcaster in the world. The two leaders of their industries collided over the former WWE star’s appearance on a recent episode of the JRE podcast.

During the conversation, Johnson reminisced with Rogan about watching his father and grandfather wrestle with Fritz Von Erich, patriarch of the legendary Von Erich family of professional wrestlers. This prompted a response from Fritz’s grandson, Marshall.

Dwayne Johnson responds to Marshall Von Erich

Marshall Von Erich took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a clip of Dwayne Johnson and Joe Rogan discussing ‘The Rock’s father and grandfather’s time with Fritz Von Erich. He was surprised that one of his idols looked up to his grandfather. “Crazy to think someone I looked up to as a kid looked up to someone in my family when he was a kid. @joerogan @TheRock,” Marshall wrote.

The Jumanji star responded to the tweet and told Marshall that he had fond memories of not only his grandfather but also of working with his father and uncles, Kevin and Kerry Von Erich when he was starting his own illustrious pro wrestling career.
