Red wrestling trunks worn by famed professional wrestler Rocky Johnson during the early 1980s. Johnson has personally attested to their ring use by inscribing the trunks in black Sharpie (grading 9/10) on the front "Rocky Johnson Ring Worn." Additionally, Johnson has provided a one-page typed-signed LOA attesting to their provenance. The "K&H" trunks display outstanding use, indicative of having been worn in multiple matches. Rocky Johnson, who is best known today as being the father of "The Rock," Dwayne Johnson, was a top ring performer during his two-decade career (1964-1982). He also broke color barriers in the sport, becoming the first African American Georgia Heavyweight Champion. Later, he and Tony Atlas became the first African American tag-team champions in WWE history. Johnson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.
