Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now. But before he became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, he was the face of WWE/F. He might have left his wrestling career at the top of his game, but he never forgot his roots.

The descendant of the great Anoa’i Family made his debut as Rocky Maivia. However, he soon shed the rookie’s skin and became the most electrifying wrestler in the business. Apart from being a showman, but he is also an 8-time WWE Champion and 2-time WCW Champion, among other things.
