Combat Sports

Dwayne Johnson, known in the ring as the Rock, is an American actor and semi-retired professional wrestler who is signed to WWE and performs there part time. After playing football at the University of Miami as a defensive tackle and going undrafted in the 1995 NFL draft, he was briefly signed by the Calgary Stampeders before being cut, and in 1996 he debuted in the World Wrestling Federation as Rocky Maivia. The following year he took on the Rock persona, a charismatic trash talker, and rose to global prominence in the company's Attitude Era. He wrestled full time for eight years before turning to acting, with a film career that began with The Mummy Returns in 2001 and a long run as Luke Hobbs in the Fast and Furious films. He is a 10-time world champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a five-time Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble, and he headlined WrestleMania six times.
