“Uncle Wally” exchanging pleasantries with “The Rock”
BC Lions Head Coach Wally Buono and his grandsons took a great picture together with balloon version of their favourite character from the critically acclaimed film, Moana. This character is named Maui and is played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a former disciple of the aforementioned Buono.
It is well documented that in the brief time “The Rock” spent in the #CFL, Buono was a major influence on his life and helped to shape Johnson into becoming the man he is today.
After this picture was tweeted, “The Rock” was quick to respond.
Nice! Handsome boys! Appreciate ya uncle Wally! (this man was a very strong influence at a defining time in my life at 23yrs old). #gratefulhttps://t.co/VKOlbU3J1C

Such a great story, proud to say that it’s roots were born in the #CFL.
