As many #CFL fans know, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson once was a member of the Calgary Stampeders who were coached by Wally Buono at the time.

Ultimately, The Rock moved on from the #CFL & became one of the most iconic WWE superstars of all time & now is arguably the biggest action star in Hollywood.

However, despite his short time in the #CFL, The Rock always has had a special place for Coach Buono:

@GM_Brillo Thank U coach for your mentorship & optimism at a time when I needed it most. Why you’re one of the all time greats. #UncleWally — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) September 26, 2014

As fate would have it, The Rock is set to shoot a movie in Vancouver & naturally “Uncle Wally” reached out:

Would love to see you when you’re in town. Come cheer on your uncle Wally & the @BCLions at a game. My treat! 🏈😎 https://t.co/XhviwAaR6D — Wally Buono (@GM_Brillo) June 1, 2017
