Dwayne Johnson, who broke out as a star in the WWE ring, has gained rights to a number of nicknames and catchphrases from his time in the ring.
Dwayne Johnson now officially owns title to the sobriquet “The most electrifying man in sports and entertainment.” The actor and entertainment mogul, who broke out as a WWE star two decades ago, has gained rights to a number of nicknames, insults and catchphrases from his time in the ring in the 90s and early 2000s — including “Candy Ass,” “Jabroni,” and “If you smell what The Rock is cooking.” The transfer of the intellectual-property rights to the names and phrases to Johnson comes under his deal to join the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings, the company formed by Endeavor that merged WWE and the UFC.
