The Rise to Fame of Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne attended the University of Miami, where he played college football and won a national championship. Prior to playing in the NFL, he had aspirations of becoming a professional football player and was drafted by the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL, but he was cut from the team. He was also part of the Anoa'i family, including his father Rocky and maternal grandfather Peter Maivia. Both his father and grandfather were professional wrestlers, so he signed a contract with the World Wrestling Federation and wrestled for some time before becoming a wrestler.
The Rock became a prominent figure in the wrestling industry following the Attitude Era and helped usher in a boom period from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. He left WWE in 2004 until 2013 when he returned as a part-time performer. He made sporadic appearances and retired in 2019.
Dwayne completed his 10th world title victory and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He won the WWE's sixth Triple Crown Champion and headlined the most-bought professional wrestling pay-per-view.
The Rock started his career in the film industry, beginning in his first leading role in The Scorpion King back in 2002. Then, he starred in comedy films which are big hits, like The Game Plan, Tooth Fairy, and Central Intelligence. He also began in action and adventure genres like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and more. Here are more well-known films by Dwayne:
- Hercules
- Fast & Furious (beginning with Fast Five)
