THE ROCK !!!

He was the most electrifying man in sports-entertainment. He is also one of the most recognized faces on the planet and one of the hottest celebrities in all walks of life.Call him whatever you want, but to the millions -- and millions -- of fans around the world, there is no substitute for The Rock.

Dwayne Johnson(born May 2, 1972) also known by his former ring name The Rock, and occasionally credited as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is a former professional wrestler.A third-generation WWE Superstar, The Rock at first did not plan to follow in the family tradition of sports-entertainment stardom. He instead used his athletic skill on the gridiron, where he starred for the University of Miami. After a brief professional football career, The Rock decided to give WWE a shot -- a choice that would begin a new era in the entertainment world. In only a few years, The Rock was a multi-time WWE Champion and one of the most celebrated Superstars to ever set foot in the ring, having classic rivalries with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H.

He gained mainstream fame as a wrestler in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), then known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), from 1996 to 2004, and was the first third-generation superstar in wrestling history. Johnson was quickly given a push in WWE, first as "Rocky Maivia", and then as "The Rock", a member of the Nation of Domination.


Johnson was a nine time world champion in his career, being a seven time WWF/WWE Champion (with his last reign being the WWE Undisputed Champion) and two time WCW Champion. He is also a two time Intercontinental Champion and a five time Tag Team Champion. He is also the sixth Triple Crown Champion and was the winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble.

His quick wit, charisma and ability to talk smack earned such raves that “The People’s Champion” was asked to speak to the people over and over again.
