The Rock took to social media and promised to send a US Navy Member his real autograph after the guy told a story about getting a fake one. Steven Wright posted to Twitter on Saturday and told the story of how after he lost his leg and was in the hospital in 1999, his shipmates got ahold of The Rock’s matches to keep him going and he got an autograph of the Great One that turned out to be a fake. PWInsider reports that Wright was previously on the WWE-themed episode of Undercover Boss where he wanted to be a photographer for WWE and, while he didn’t get a full-time job there, has gone on to work as a wrestling photographer.

Wright wrote:
