Dwayne Johnson has lived a life full of ‘content.’ Who doesn’t want a life like The Rock? But his life story is a blended broth of ecstasy, despair, and everything in between. He decided to make a TV series out of his life a few years back.
The show does a fair job of blending flashbacks with flash-forwards to a future where Dwayne Johnson is running for President.
The best thing about this show is that it shows things that we already know and blends them with little details and nuances about his journey that only the big guy himself knows.
1. Season 3, Episode 2 Speculation
Two significant events from the season 2 finale bleed directly into season 3’s premiere.
The first one is the massacre of presidential proportions in future Dwayne’s life. Dwayne loses out in the elections, which is how season 2 ends.
In the premiere of season 3, Dwayne steps out of the spotlight for a year. But a humiliating incident with a fan continues to bother him. When Randall visits him, he puts on a brave face, but I could understand that the man is crumbling from within.
The best thing about the future Dwayne Johnson trope is that we don’t know what the show has planned for us. Will Dwayne Johnson get back from the ashes and fight again? Or will he take a completely different course of action?
Rocky Johnson has always been a big part of young Malvia’s life. In this week’s episode, Rocky’s struggles in WrestleMania are shown vividly.
Rather than wallowing in defeat, Rocky decides to go to Saudi Arabia to find more opportunities for himself. The next episode will continue to show Rocky’s path toward redemption in WrestleMania.
Episode 2 will resume his storyline. Rocky agreed to continue his WWF career with Vince McMahon. We’ll see how it goes.
The mid-nineties’ Rocky Malvia gets booed by the fans, and his babyface changes into utter despair. WWF hasn’t been kind to him, and he gets relegated to perform in untelevised matches. Will next week’s episode show how he claws his way back into the top-tier wrestling league?
What makes Young Rock unique is the portrayal of the things we know about our favorite superstar in a way unknown to all of us.
Things only get harder for young Rock in the mid-nineties. He suffers from a terrible knee injury that will keep him away from the ring for a long time.
This serves as an essential lesson for present-day Rock as well. He realizes that he doesn’t belong to politics. He belongs to the wrestling ring and in the hearts of his fans. So, that will be the end of it all, right?
Present-day Rock receives a call from President Taft. He talks about a national emergency.
“The people need you.”, he says.
What does that mean? Will he return to politics? The future Dwayne trope is unique as it creates an aura of suspense. This isn’t the case for the other parts of the series.
What emergency is he talking about? Stay tuned to learn about this in the next episode!
