Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson did not fail to impress with his Halloween 2020 costume. In an Instagram post, he revealed his ‘The Lion King’ theme Mufasa costume. Unfortunately, given his massive physique, the only part of the costume that fit him was Mufasa’s mask.

However, he made the best of the situation by sporting an Iron Paradise men’s tank T-shirt and the mask, and of course, the mandatory trick or treat candy bucket.

Kevin Hart executed a fan-boy moment on Halloween 2019

Dwayne Johnson is not the only one who gives tributes to various characters. His WWE in-ring character, The Rock, received a very special tribute from Kevin Hart for Halloween 2019.

He dressed up in the iconic body hugging black full-sleeves, the silver chain, the light blue denims, and the black fanny pack. The Rock greatly applauded this.

Apart from Kevin Hart, this ‘old school Dwayne Johnson’ look is a fan favourite. Every year without fail, some of his fans will dress up like him.

The other costume which fans use almost every year to pay him a tribute is his character ‘Maui’ from the movie Moana.

The Brahma Bull’s retirement and return

The Rock retired from WWE in 2004 to make a name in the entertainment industry. There were two reasons for his decision. One, because his contract had expired, and he was a free agent. Second, he wanted to make a global influence. To achieve this, he needed to become successful outside the professional wrestling industry.

When he retired in 2004, he was at the top of the wrestling game, but he wanted to take the risk and bet on himself.

He made a return in 2011 to face John Cena at WrestleMania. Consequently, he defeated Cena and CM Punk to become the WWE Champion. The following year, he returned to WrestleMania to face John Cena all over again.

This time, John Cena beat him. The idea was to make Cena the champion and hand over the reigns to him to lead the company to further glory.
