Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, got this name when he was wrestling full time in the WWE. The Rock came into Vince McMahon’s WWE as Rocky Maivia, but soon he adapted the very popular edgier character. The Rock has permanently solidified his in-ring name with his mountain-shaped muscular physique.

However, in a resurfaced picture back from the late 90s, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson looks like a small pebble in front of the NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal. How ironically things work that Dwayne Johnson’s moniker name “The Rock” would appear as a pebble when he stood next to the 7 ft. 1-inch, Shaquille O’Neal.

The Rock found himself in role reversal when next to Shaq!

For instance, when Dwayne Johnson is standing next to his best friend Kevin Hart, he actually looks like a massive rock. But, in this picture, Dwayne Johnson found himself in a reverse position wherein he looks tiny compared to the colossal Shaq.
