The WWE wrestler turned Hollywood sensation, Dwayne Johnson, has been accused of juicing up, quite a few times. One such instance came up when the famed UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, apparently believed that ‘The Rock’ wasn’t natural. Many different personalities have come up in defense of the former WWE contestant.

Recently, Solofa Fatu Jr., cousin to Johnson, gave his opinion on the color commentator’s comments for ‘The Rock’. Although Johnson’s physique is arguably intimidating and God-like, ‘Rikishi’ credited the Hollywood star’s Polynesian lineage for the buffed look. 

Fatu pointed out that Polynesians are big-boned men. Therefore, it is not unnatural for them to look bigger than an average person. Furthermore, he credited Johnson’s workout routine. Undeniably, with everything in line, Fatu stood strong in his belief that ‘The Rock’ was all natural.

Previously, in episode #1905 of JRE, Rogan, and Derek Cole, from ‘More Plates, More Dates’, discussed the physiques of various Hollywood personalities. One celebrity they talked about was ‘The Rock’. Looking at the star’s age and physique, Rogan believed that he wasn’t all-natural. “There’s not a f**king chance in hell he’s clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as ‘The Rock’ is, at 50…”, said the 55-year-old UFC color commentator.

However, several personalities have leaped to the defense of the WWE legend. Recently, ‘InsideFighting’ interviewed ‘Rikishi’ on the topic. He refuted Rogan’s suggestions and said his side of the story.

Without a second’s delay, Fatu gave his verdict and blamed the Polynesian blood for the way Johnson looked. He answered, “Absolutely not. That’s the one thing about Polynesians. You know, do the research. We’re all big-boned men. And Rock, you see him. He workout, if you workout as much as ‘The Rock’, everyday. I mean, while people’s in the club partying, Rock’s in the Paradise Gym.”
