But first, let's tackle the basics. What exactly is "The Rock's Young Gif", and where did it originate? Born from one of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Instagram posts, the gif shows a younger version of him posing with a caption that reads "Redemption Day. 1995. One dream. 1100 pounds. Locked in the cage. Pain. Suffering. Sun up. Sun down. Blood. Sweat. Tears. 20 years later. The hard work. The sacrifice. The NO's. The failures. Every bit of blood, sweat, and tears was worth it."
