The Rock celebrated his 48th birthday recently
WWE celebrated the birthday of the Rock by tweeting a series of Rock Bottoms in honour of the great superstar.
Many superstars, including the Singh Brothers, also tweeted a picture with The Rock.
He has been dubbed The Great One, The People’s Champion and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment.
Mere words fail to capture the essence of the most charismatic Superstar of all time. Though the catchphrase “boots to as***” comes awfully close.
Dwayne Johnson’s last run with WWE saw him picking up the WWE Championship. However, when he lost it to Cena at WrestleMania 29, The Rock suffered abdominal and adductor tendons tear from his pelvis which halted production for an upcoming movie at the time.
The first third-generation Superstar in WWE history, The Rock was destined for sports-entertainment immortality since birth, but his rise to the status of a pop culture icon was harder to predict.
In the time since he made his debut as a grinning good guy at the 1996 Survivor Series, The Brahma Bull has won eight WWE Championships.
The Rock might not be seen too many times on WWE programming these days, but that doesn’t mean is one of the greatest ever.
Johnson has also transitioned his career well after his time in the ring. He is one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood and does a lot of charity too.
However, Johnson will always be remembered for his antics in the ring. His electrifying moves haven’t been copied since, and WWE is still looking for someone as dynamic as him.
The Rock formed some incredible tag teams too during his days with the promotion. However, he does come once in a while especially when the big PPVs are around.
