Yes, very sad. I recall reading about The Rock buying him a new house about a year ago. I don't recall the Memphis boxer vs wrestler gimmick with Lawler but remember a handful of Memphis runs over the years. When the USA Network first started airing WWF back in '83, Rocky was a big part that first year with Tony Atlas. I always enjoyed that team. Too bad him & Atlas couldn't stand each other. After they broke up, Johnson just seemed to fade away. Never in one place too long. Age and injuries must have slowed him down. RIP Rocky Johnson.
