Professional wrestlers live two lives and often try to be different from other stars to be relevant. While doing so they show the world the side fans often see and not about their personal life.
However, recently a wrestling legend whom Dwayne Johnson saw closely wrestle by the side of his father Rocky Johnson, shared an extremely personal detail. The hosts were too confused and shocked to learn about the same from the legend.
WWE legend who Dwayne Johnson saw closely shares a personal detail
Recently, the Busted Open podcast had 2006 WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas on their show. While the hosts’ Dave LeGreca and Thunder Rosa were wrapping up, Atlas asked whether they saw his video of him getting kicked and punched. The former WWE Tag Team Champion shared it is his fetish.
The 69-year-old said, “A lot of wrestlers have what they call a fetish. You saw where the girl punched me in the face 50 times? I’m a very aggressive guy. My fetish, I have what you call a shoe fetish, but it’s non-sexual.”
The former WWE Tag Team Champion added, “What it does is humble me. I get a girl to play dominatrix, that puts me in my place, and it humbles me. When I first started wrestling, the old timers used to say it, ‘if you’re not strange, you’re in the wrong business.”
The hosts LeGreca and Rosa were in thought while the WWE Hall of Famer was talking about the same. Furthermore, Atlas made sure to tell the host and the fans to go on his Twitter handle and see the video of him getting punched and kicked.
Moreover, in January of this year, when Atlas shared the video on Twitter, fans reacted to the same with their comments. Atlas has had a memorable wrestling career, most notably tagging with Rocky Johnson.
The former bodybuilder spent a fair share of time in WWE during his memorable career. He first joined WWE in 1979. He wrestled several matches before WWE put him into a tag team with Rocky Johnson.
In 1983, he and Johnson made history after becoming the WWE World Tag Team Championship. They became the first-ever African-American champions. However, he left the company in 1984 after losing the titles.
Furthermore, shortly after leaving, he had another run in WWE from 1984 to 1985, and in 1987 he came back for one match. Atlas had several other runs in WWE later on and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. Apart from WWE, Atlas wrestled and appeared in AWA, WCW, and ECW.
