There is not a single soul on planet Earth, that wouldn’t know who Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is.
The young kid who used to go to see his father Rocky Johnson perform at the WWF developed an interest in American Football.
In 1995, he signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, as a linebacker. Just two months into the season he was cut off from the roster. Since, things didn’t go as planned, he decided to make a foray into the WWF, his father’s sport.
Just when he was at a crossroads, he switched to the WWF, aiming to carve a name for himself, as his father had done. He made his debut under the ring-name Rocky Maivia, and then there was no looking back.
After an insanely successful pro-wrestling career, he went to become one of the biggest movie stars ever. He is also one of the richest celebrities of all time.
Today he has a massive social media following, and has become a household name. He has a staggering 238 million people following him on Instagram, making him the second most followed celebrity on the Gram.
Dwayne Johnson Career
Johnson’s first WWF appearance came at the Survivor Series in November 1996. Just 3 months later he won the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
Johnson then made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 13, against Sultan; he successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship.
After losing his Intercontinental Title to Bret Hart, he suffered an injury and then later came back as a heel.
Johnson won his first WWF title against Mankind in the year 1998. He had already switched his ring name to the Rock, then. And, within 2 years he had already won the WWF title 4 times.
In the year 2001 his very first Hollywood movie, The Mummy Returns became a massive hit, and he was already a star. He followed it up with the Scorpion King in 2002, which was a huge success as well.
Johnson slowly began shifting his attention towards Hollywood, and he left the WWE, in the year 2004 to pursue a full-time acting career. His last proper appearance then was, at WrestleMania 2004, where Rock aided Mick Foley in his dispute against the Evolution.
And, since then Johnson’s appearances in the WWE have been sporadic. His next appearance was three years later, in 2007, appearing in a taped promo, predicting a match between Bobby Lashley and Umaga at WrestleMania 23.
A year later he appeared again to induct his father and grandfather in the WWE Hall of Fame.
However, his proper post-2004 appearance came in the year 2011, when he was announced as the host of WrestleMania 27. He then began a feud with John Cena, playing spoilsport in his match against the Miz at WrestleMania 27.
The Rock then stayed in the promotion for quite a while until a serious pelvic injury at WrestleMania 29 ruled him out for an extended period of time. His last appearance in the WWE came in October 2019, where he cut a promo with Becky Lynch, attacking, an interrupting King Corbin.
