He is the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment. He is
quickly becoming one of the most recognized faces on the planet and one of
the hottest celebrities in all walks of life.
Call him whatever you want, but to the millions—and millions—of fans
around the world, there is no substitute for The Rock.
A third generation WWE Superstar, The Rock at first did not plan to
follow in the family tradition of sports entertainment stardom, but
instead used his athletics heredity on the gridiron where he starred for the
University of Miami. After a very brief professional football career,
The Rock decided to give WWE a shot—a choice that would prove to begin a
new era in the entertainment world. In only a few years, The Rock was a
multi-time WWE Champion and one of the most celebrated superstars to
ever set foot in the ring.
But it was more than his ability to layeth the smacketh down in the
ring that made The Rock a Superstar. His quick wit, charisma, and ability
to talk smack earned such raves that “The People’s Champion” was asked
to speak to the people over and over again. Among his many famous
public appearances were a stint hosting “Saturday Night Live” in 2000 and a
speech at the 2002 Republican National Convention.
By 2001, The Rock became a multi-media superstar, having starred in
the feature film, “The Mummy Returns,” and its highly successful prequel,
“The Scorpion King.” His autobiography, “The Rock Says…” was a New York
Times No. 1 bestseller.
Recently, The Rock may have earned his biggest box office break to
date with a starring role in “Walking Tall,” an action drama based on a
true story that is expected to be even more successful than his previous
hit, "The Rundown." While many consider The Rock to be Hollywood’s next
great superstar, he still believes that World Wrestling Entertainment
is his home and is ready to return to the ring when duty calls. When
Mick Foley suffered injury and humiliation at the hands of Evolution,
Rocky returned to RAW to reform the Rock 'n' Sock Connection and the two
competed as a team at WrestleMania XX. While Evolution walked out as the
winner, The Rock proved that he has not lost his touch in the ring and
at the microphone and is as beloved as a WWE Superstar now more than
ever!
