As told by The Rock,
"Merry Christmas Uncle Tonga - enjoy your new truck! Cool Christmas story to share with y'all... Known my "Uncle Tonga" since I was 5yrs old. My grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia helped train him to become a professional wrestler in the 70's. Throughout Tonga's illustrious wrestling career he changed his name to "King Haku" and became one the WWE's most sought after "bad guys" and still known to this day for being one of the toughest and legit most vicious man in wrestling history.
Years later and I get a call from WWE saying "Vince McMahon wants to see you wrestle immediately. He's flying you to RAW tomorrow and you'll have a tryout match." I thought holy shit that's awesome, buuuut there's a few problems: For me, I wasn't just having "a tryout match", because I had never actually HAD a real match in my life. Ever. WWE thought that I already had multiple matches under my belt, but little did they know. What they also didn't know was that I was broke as hell and didn't actually own wrestling gear - no boots, knee pads or most importantly.. wrestling trunks.
I went to Sports Authority and bought some bright ass white volleyball knee pads, called my Uncle and asked if he had ANY trunks I could use for my tryout. He said all I have is a pair of shiny purple trunks (purple was his signature color), I told him I don't care if the trunks are all the colors of Skittles, I'll happily wear them. When I picked the trunks up from him I'll never forget the monster hug he gave me, look me in the eyes and said, "I'm so proud of you. Go get 'em nephew!" Here's the picture of me wrestling my FIRST MATCH EVER in Corpus Christi, TX in front of 15,000 people - proudly in my lucky purple trunks. And the rest... was history.
My Uncle Tonga is a family man, humble man and champion. Most importantly one of the greatest human beings I know. So we walk outside and I said "Uncle how do you like my truck?" He said, "Whoooaaa nephew it's beautiful... I love it!" I said "Good 'cause it's yours." He was speechless. Thru tears (manly of course;) we monster hugged 'cause I'll never forget what he did for me when I had nothing. Merry Christmas Uncle and ofa atu. #LuckyPurpleTrunks"

Nothing against you, but in all honesty I cannot think of a genuinely good reason the "Rock" would have for putting that out to the world. But he did, I read it here and nope, it did not change either my view of him or the world at large.
I first thought this thread was about the Rock and Haiku... I need better glasses, Sir Wishbone! ;D

My thought was "I hope my dad doesn't see this, I just said thanks for the life you gave me in a card and gave him flight lessons".

I'm safe. My dad and my uncles are long gone.
Edit: I have great uncles though. And they're Jewish! I am gonna have to pay up...Dammit!

Oh, I thanked my dad, bought him a decent present. Fuck it, he got a new car earlier this year, he doesn't need a new one. Besides, he has way more money than me (dad and Dwayne Johnson).
Why post to the world how nice you were?
-
I'm just posting a Haku update. I don't care about the truck or Christmas or Arbor Day or Hanukkah. It's a Haku sighting and update. Rejoice people!

He is trying to remain relevant in an irrelevant industry. Kinda like Trans Jenner except the Rock doesn't get to have boobs. He may well be a great guy but the world at large needn't be told that by him.

Haku, then King Tonga used to workout at the first gym I joined as a kid. Big big dude

I think it might be a way of encouraging people to never forget where their roots lie and who helped them along the way.

Badass gift. Shitty that he felt the need to post and brag about it on the Internet.

10/10 would never mess with

It's been a while since the last story of him jerking himself off on how great he is.
-
When Haku first came to WCW as Meng with Col Robert Parker, he was great.

Also the fact that he has a reputation of being a badass and a psycho outside the ring. Think Dwayne wants to show another side of his uncle.

This Rock fagot will do anything for publicity.

Very nice gift during the holiday season!

The Rock loves showing off how "generous" he is. It's not truly a good deed when you go out of your way to broadcast it every time. Many famous people do stuff like this in silence.

Yep, he is actually a top guy. Had so many tragedies in his life. Great genes though, looks incredible for 51 and by all reports a great guy.
John Wick was the shit :)

don't get me wrong, he is always in great movies. He just can't act. Seems like a great guy tho.

saw the rock in that lip sync battle program earlier. He was doing that shoulder rolling thing constantly, raising his traps up and back and sticking his chest out, like sly does so people notice they are big and have development. He seems like a cool guy and i like him in ballers and certain movies but this really started to get on my tits.

He did the same thing with his housekeeper giving her a Ford Edge and then posting about it all over the internet. Seems like a low class move.

The Crock is his own biggest fan...

How much of the posting about it then makes it a business expense for publicity and a tax writeoff?

And with his mother too right? Gave her a car too I think and posted pictures on the internet along with some sob story.

That Haku bloke fucks up anyone reading this. ANYONE. I don't give a fuck how many UFC dvds you own.

John Wayne always played himself and Keanu Reeves does this (or so it would appear to me). And "John Wick" was a hoot. I also liked the film, "Shoot 'Em Up!" for the same reason. Just fun.

I love shoot em up. Crank is another fun movie.
