Longtime wrestling fans will remember how common it was to see pro wrestlerswearing fanny packs in the 80sand 90s. There is perhaps no greater example than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who poses with a fanny pack around his waist in a widely-shared image of the wrestler taken in 1994. The Rock has since recreated the image, as have other celebrities like Kevin Hart and Seth Rogen. Uli Latukefu can be seen putting on the fanny pack as a young Johnson in the NBC seriesYoung Rock.
“Alright, so here’s the thing,” Johnson told People about the fanny pack photo in a 2016 interview. “It takes a lot of confidence to rock a fanny pack. Put your thumb in the fanny pack. I’m giving a look. I’ve got a tissue underneath my elbow because I felt likemy turtleneck was expensive. The funniest thing about this picture is, this is not a joke. I walked out of the house like this. Like: Hey baby, this is it, right?'”
The Rock added: “And the guy in the mirror (and likely plenty of women on his way to work) said, ‘Yeah, you look good!'”
In April, Entertainment Earth also unveiled another exclusive Funko Pop figure based on The Rock. This version features the character as he appeared after winning the WWE Championship from CM Punk in 2013. Johnson officially retired as a pro wrestler in 2019, but is known to still make sporadic appearances in the company.
