The WWE and Hollywood Megastar is currently 51 year old. There are rumours that he could still return to action soon even at this age.

The Rock Early Life

Johnson was born and brought up in a wrestling family where most of the people from his family were wrestlers. His father, his grandfather and his grandmother, all belonged to the world of wrestling. Naturally, he wanted to be a professional wrestler just like his family members. He was born on May 2, 1972. Hayward, California was the place where the Rock born. He was influenced by his family massively to join the world of wrestling.

Who is The Rock

The Rock had been one of the megastars of WWE during his time and she is also a megastar of Hollywood right now. His success is an example for everyone. Whichever field he moved in, he became the top star of it. He was only active in the wrestling world for seven consecutive years, and in this short period of time he became one of the biggest stars of the promotion. He was one of the three megastars of the Attitude Era.

The Rock WWE Debut

Johnson started his professional wrestling career from the year 1996 and he directly got a big breakthrough in WWE. During his early days in WWE he was known as Rocky Maivia, and he received a solid mid card push in his early days. His character was quite different from what he was famous for. In 1998 he started playing the character of the Rock for the first time.

Professional Wrestling Career

Early Days:

When Johnson started his WWE career, he was given a mid card boost in the promotion. He was mostly fighting for the Intercontinental Championship and he was famous under the ring name of Rocky Maivia during his early days. His name was inspired from his grandfather Peter Maivia and father Rocky Johnson.

He was pretty talented but somehow he was feeling to connect with the fans. In spite of being a babyface, he was receiving massive heat from the fans. A chant became quite famous among the fans during the time, “Die Rocky Die.” It was almost certain that he is career would definitely go downhill, and nobody ever thought that he could recover from this heat.

But the Attitude Era was a blessing for a large number of wrestlers and WWE saw the right potential in him. They understood that he had all the potential to be the top star of the promotion. In that time, Stone Cold Steve Austin was already the top star of the promotion and nobody ever thought that WWE would be able to build another Megastar alongside him.

Nation of Domination

Johnson’s journey from being Rocky Maivia to The Rock started in 1998 when he turned heel and joined The Nation of Domination. Things became more ignited when the Nation started a feud with D Generation X. This was the earliest step to build the iconic rivalry between The Rock and Triple H. The fans finally started to recognize the true potential of Johnson and what he was capable of. We can definitely say that joining the Nation of Domination helped him a lot.

WWE Champion

At Survivor Series 1998, Johnson won the WWE Championship and this was the beginning of his main event push. He had amazing feud with Mankind and this also marked the beginning of Mick Foley’s main event push. Johnson went on to feature on the main event of WrestleMania XV where he defended WWE Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin. In spite of the fact that he lost the match, he never lost his push.

Rise of the People’s Champion

This was a huge accomplishment to feature on the main event of WrestleMania at such a young age. On the same year, he turned babyface for the first time after adopting the gimmick of The Rock. He featured on the main event of WrestleMania 2000 once again, this time it was a fatal 4 way elimination match also featuring Triple H, The Big Show, and Mick Foley. It is rumored that the match was scheduled to be a one on one match between him and Triple H at first.

Steve Austin vs. The Rock

This was the first time in any professional wrestling time period that a promotion had multiple megastars in one single era. During the time Austin got injured and remained out of action for nearly a year. This time off of Austin somehow helped Rock to become a top star. When Austin made his return to action, WWE started creating a dream angle between Austin and Rock.

Both wrestlers had amazing fan followings and before the biggest reason behind this angle was such a hit. This rivalry will always be considered one of the top rivalries in professional wrestling history. Some fans even consider it the best rivalry in wrestling history. It continued until 2003 WWE kept on reigniting it. Sometimes as a one on one feud and sometimes in a different storyline.

They faced each other in three different WrestleMania matches. The first two matches were won by Austin and the final encounter that took place at WrestleMania XIX was won by The Rock. The feud was so famous that the WWE event decided to put it in the WWE vs. Alliance storyline in 2001 and ultimately when the feud ended Survivor Series 2001, team WWE was led by The Rock whereas team Alliance was led by Austin.

Post Attitude Era

Dream Match with Hulk Hogan

After the WWE vs. Alliance storyline ended, The Rock went on to have a dream feud against Hulk Hogan. WWE booked this dream match at WrestleMania X8 and this match is still remembered as one of the best matches in WWE and professional wrestling history. Majority of fans still believe that this match should have been the main event of WrestleMania X8.

Lifting Brock Lesnar

Johnson still remained a regular star as he even won the WWE championship at Vengeance 2002. He defended the WWE championship against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam and dropped the title to The Next Big Thing. Lesnar received an excellent push in this match and Johnson took time off for his next movie project.

Return – Heel Turn

He made his return in January, 2003 again this time as a heel first time in four long years. He remained active till Backlash event of the same year. During the time he had three mega matches, against Hulk Hogan at No Way Out, against Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIX, and against Goldberg at Backlash.

Feud with John Cena

By this time he cemented his position in Hollywood and stopped working regularly in WWE. Until now he made his returns for a number of times, and he also had some matches with some big stars. But the only big rivalry he had became one of the best of his career. From 2011 to 2013 he had a brief rivalry with none other than John Cena.

It all started at the end of the main event of WrestleMania 27 where The Miz was defending his WWE championship against John Cena. The Rock cost Cena his opportunity to win the WWE championship in this match. This instantly started a rivalry between these two Legends and a dream match was in process.

But the WWE Universe had to wait for one long year before they could finally witness this epic showdown. WWE kept on teasing this match for one long year before it finally to place at WrestleMania 28 where The Rock defeated John Cena. The match was such a success that WWE decided to book the match once again at WrestleMania 29.

But WWE tried to add more spice into this match by giving the WWE championship to The Rock and the match was for the WWE championship. But this somehow made the match totally predictable. Everybody knew that the Rock would leave WWE after WrestleMania 29 so he would definitely drop the title.

And that is exactly what happened; John Cena finally got his revenge on the Rock and won the WWE championship. This was the last time Johnson worked in a regular feud. He did make some appearances in WWE, but never worked as a regular start in the promotion anymore, neither did he work in any feuds. There had been rumours that WWE wanted to make a dream match between him and Roman Reigns but he could not manage his schedule.

Iconic Quotes From The Rock

I’ll never, ever be full. I’ll always be hungry. Obviously, I’m not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I’ve never forgotten it, ‘Once you’ve ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you’ll never, ever be full.”

“I was born to play Hercules. I have loved and honored the mythology over the years – since I was a kid. When I first broke into Hollywood, ‘Hercules’ was one of the movies that I – not chased, because I didn’t have the power to chase anything – but always had in the back of my mind.”

“I love making people laugh and feel good, and that’s awesome and special for me to be able to do that, but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it’s on a major scale, or whether it’s in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing.”

“I didn’t have to win, and winning wasn’t important to me. Being world champion wasn’t important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience, and whether that meant winning, losing, singing, or whatever it was on the live show we were doing every week, which was awesome, I was game for it.”

“I think there are a number of things that you can do to encourage your kids’ dreams, but I do believe in speaking by experience of having a lot of help along the way, stumbling in the past. We’ve all stumbled, and we certainly all deserve to get up and walk again.”

“The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there’s not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I’m grateful for it.”

“If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.”
