The coolest trivia tidbit about The Rock: He won his first wrestling championship in Texas, Corpus Christi, to be exact. Dwayne Johnson said on Twitter that the battle is in Texas is a moment he will never forget! I was never one to get into WWF and WWE when I was a kid, but I certainly did hear of The Rock. I can recall the phrase being said by people around me, "Can you SMELL what The Rock is cooking?!" Do you know how some people play the game "6 Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon"? Here are my 6 Degrees to The Rock: Dwayne Johnson went to Glencliff and McGavock High Schools. He is two (2) years older than me so that means he was a junior when I went to Maplewood High. He doesn't disclose what years he went to Nashville high schools, so I have no clear way of knowing when we would have crossed paths, but I had friends that went to McGavock after middle school, so I am TWO to THREE degrees AWAY from The Rock!
