“So, in our industry, there are some exceptions, you know, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. He’s kind of an exception, obviously. He was sort of part of the business his entire life because his family was in it. But like he had… his real run was only like four years. It was tiny.” he said.

What he actually meant to say was that ‘The Great One’ achieved the same level of success in a few years that took him over two decades to reach. A big reason for that could be that Johnson came from a long line of pro wrestlers, as Rollins pointed out in his comments.

Now he feels like he has reached a point in his career that will mark the beginning of his journey to the summit of the industry.
