Just like he dominated the professional wrestling industry, The Rock is dominating Hollywood too. Dwayne Johnson is one of the world’s highest-grossing and highest -paid actors! Before he moved on with his acting career, The Rock used to perform on WWE. He gained immense popularity during the Attitude Era. The charismatic trash-talker went on to become one of the biggest Superstars of the company.

But mind you, The Rock’s prominence was not limited to his on-screen character, he was an equally accomplished performer inside the ring too. A 10-time World Champion, Rock has held the Intercontinental Championship twice and the Tag-Team Championship five times. In addition to this he also won the Royal Rumble match in 2003.
