With Kofi Kingston’s current storyline bringing up the debate about black wrestlers being pushed as world champions, The Rock responded to fan comments about his race:
Glad I came across this and I’ll give you guys some context & truth.
I identify as exactly what I am – both. Equally proud. Black/Samoan.
And my friend, let me expand your thoughts a bit here – I transcended race in wrestling so there was no “booked that way”. Thx guys— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) March 20, 2019
