That '90s Show Can Make The Rock's That '70s Show Cameo Even Better
That ‘90s Show can make The Rock’s original cameo appearance in That ‘70s Show even better.

Fans will recall an impressive slew of guest stars in the original series, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Johnson’s appearance during season 1, episode 15 “That Wrestling Show” occurred at the beginning of his acting career. In the episode, Eric (who is the frequent recipient of Red’s “dumbass” insult) is at odds with Red, and Kitty encourages them to attend a wrestling show together in hopes they will spark a friendship. After the event is over, Eric and Red travel to the locker room to score an autograph from 1970s wrestling icon, Rocky Johnson (portrayed by his real-life son, Dwayne). Johnson’s guest spot was a fitting nod to the elder Johnson’s wrestling career and younger Johnson’s future in the industry. During his exchange with the Formans, the younger Johnson remarks, “You know, I got a son, and one day he’s going to become the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.” Eric and Red leave with Rocky Johnson’s autograph, albeit made out to Red.
