Young Rock

‐ Thank you for joining us tonight.

I'm Randall Park.

With the presidential race kicking into high gear,

the candidates are all asking the same question‐‐

what issue is most important to the American voters.

Our cameras were allowed exclusive access

to a strategy meeting with Candidate Johnson

and his campaign manager.

‐ As you can see from the data,

our campaign polled likely voters

about their biggest concerns, which we'll want to address

when we shoot our TV ad,

and the most common answer was‐‐

‐ Oh, you know what'd be good?

I'd like to guess "Family Feud" style.

‐ That's fun, okay.

What is the biggest concern among American voters?

‐ Job security. ‐ Ding, ding, ding!

Number one answer.

So what our polling showed is, with automation on the rise,

people worry about technology replacing them

in the workforce. ‐ Yeah, that makes sense.

I mean, a change like that

creates a lot of uncertainty in people.

And trust me, I know.

My life has changed so much over the years.

‐ Right, you were the Scorpion King,

and now you may be the leader of the free world.

‐ I was actually talking about when I was a kid.

‐ Me too. That's also what I meant.

Mm‐hmm.

‐ Yeah, my mom and I followed my dad

as he wrestled all over the world,

and things were challenging back then

like living paycheck to paycheck.

I mean, we weren't destitute in any way,

but we certainly weren't rich.

I gotta tell you‐‐ when my dad

first started wrestling for the WWF,

it felt as though things changed just like that.

This is crazy!

You're wrestling the Black Demon in New York,

and you're here at the same time.

‐ That's called syndication, little man.

I'm nationwide, baby.

‐ I can't believe they're airing wrestling

coast‐to‐coast like it's "The Jeffersons."

‐ Takes commanding control.

‐ Nice move, Dad.

The crowd is going crazy!

‐ Oh, they are. They are.

Oh, look, look, there's Vince McMahon.

‐ Certainly an impressive victory

by "The Soul Man" Rocky Johnson.

‐ Together, me and him are gonna do

some exciting things for the WWF.

‐ The camera loves a strong chin dimple.

‐ Hey, thanks to him, a million fans

just saw me beat Black Demon's ass,

so I thought we'd capitalize on that

and start selling merch at my events.

We got jackets, hats, T‐shirts, scissors.

‐ Do not throw him scissors. ‐ Scissors?

‐ Uh, to cut the sleeves off the shirts, Son.

Free the great black sharks.

‐ Can I help sell merch? ‐ Absolutely.

You know what?

You could be president of the Rocky Johnson Fan Club.

Congratulations.

‐ Whoa!

‐ How much did all this cost?

‐ Oh, don't worry about that, babe.

You heard that crowd.

I'm on track to being Vince's number one guy.

‐ Is that why we're staying in this nice motel?

‐ Oh, Son, this is a hotel.

That's why we let you sit on the carpet.

‐ Huh.

‐ Oh, I wonder who that could be.

Did someone order... room service?

‐ Whoa.

‐ That's my new favorite song.

‐ Here you go.

‐ Marisa, my pen has run out. Can I borrow yours?

‐ Sorry, Lia, I've only got the one.

I can just remember stuff. ‐ Yeah, thank you, dear.

‐ And entering the diner,

standing at 6'2", 260 pounds.

You've seen him on national TV.

"Soul Man" Rocky Johnson!

‐ Thank you, thank you.

Appreciate it.

‐ Hi, Grandma. Sorry we're late.

‐ Hey. ‐ Mm, looks good.

I'm starving.

‐ I should kiss Vince McMahon on the mouth.

‐ Mom. ‐ What?

You heard that reaction.

WWF get more popular,

our company gets more popular too.

You know, ever since Peter passed‐‐

I love you, Peter. I love you, High Chief.

Vince has become so supportive of me.

‐ Vince loves you.

You're the only promoter he lets his wrestlers work for

outside the WWF.

‐ I'm his favorite ever since I gave him

my recipe for pulled pork.

Look at this.

Can you move those? ‐ Yeah, yeah.

‐ Whoa, a poster for your Island Battle Royale.

‐ All my best guys will be there.

Rocky. ‐ "The Soul Man."

‐ The Iron Sheik. ‐ Iran, number one!

‐ Junkyard Dog.

‐ I'm an old, nasty dog.

Nasty dog!

‐ Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.

‐ I get angry very quickly!

‐ André the Giant. ‐ I don't even exercise.

‐ "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

‐ Tower of power too sweet to be soured.

‐ King Kong Bundy. ‐ Give me a five count!

‐ Oh, no, actually King Kong Bundy is pulled out

because his mom's sick.

‐ Oh, right. I forgot.

My mom is sick.

‐ We'll miss him, but nothing is more important than family.

‐ Mm.

You coming over to look at your father's boxes?

You know, it's been three months.

‐ Yeah, it's time.

‐ Good, you can decide what goes and what stays.

‐ I know. ‐ Oh, and remind me

to give this poster to my assistant, Bob,

so he can put it up.

‐ Is that him sitting out there?

‐ Why didn't Bob come in? ‐ It's a family breakfast.

‐ My grandmother and my dad

could feel the world of wrestling changing...

‐ Is that Rocky Johnson?

‐ And their futures looked bright.

‐ Hey, Dewey, check it out.

‐ Whoa, why'd they put you in between two ladies?

‐ That's Sylvester Stallone. He's Rocky number two.

‐ Rocky, great match last night.

‐ Thanks, JT.

We all set for the autograph signing

on Saturday? ‐ All set.

‐ My dad is gonna need all fan photos

taken on his right side. That's his good side.

Oh, and he's gonna need

five silver pens and ten ripe mangos,

pre‐sliced, for energy.

‐ Okay.

Yeah, sure. I'll take that.

‐ Oh, yeah, great definition in the thighs, brother, yeah.

‐ Look at the detail in the hair.

‐ Wow, what's that? ‐ My action figure.

Vince McMahon sent it to me.

‐ Vince didn't tell me he was making us into action figures.

‐ Not us, only me.

‐ But things were even brighter for André.

‐ It's a prototype.

One night, Vince and I, we were drinking fernet,

and he say, "I wonder how small we can make André."

And I say, "Not small at all. André is a giant, huh?"

And today he sent me this.

Regardé.

‐ Oh, the arms moving. ‐ Damn!

Dad, you getting one of those?

‐ Yeah, I'm sure mine is coming.

‐ Not coming soon, boss.

‐ Yeah, André, we know you're Vince's number one guy...

‐ Well, I mean, I don't think we all know that‐‐

‐ So did you guys talk about me when you was out drinking?

'Cause I love fernet.

We go out, I'm like,

"Somebody get a round of fernet for the Dog."

‐ No.

‐ It's correct down there?

Hey, come on.

‐ What are you doing, man? ‐ It's a toy for kids.

‐ You want your jabroni kids to play with doll,

pull down pants, and see sex?

‐ Wow, look how young you and your dad were.

‐ Peter loved listening to you sing.

‐ He knew I was shy, so he just kept encouraging me.

‐ You sound like an angel.

‐ Hey, is Lia here?

‐ She's in her office with Sheik.

‐ What is wrong with dog? ‐ Nothing.

She has tumors. She's resting.

‐ Ugh.

‐ I'm hosting a barbecue for all my wrestlers

before the match.

‐ Yes, very exciting. I go to Safeway.

I get the cupcake.

‐ The barbecue is a family event,

so let's run through things that you can't say.
