Dwayne Johnson

Douglas Dwayne Johnson known as The Rock'n'roll , born on May 2nd, 1972 in California, is an actor. Before this throw in the cinema, it was Catch eur.

Dwayne Douglas Johnson is wire, grandson and nephew of all-in wrestlers (his/her father, its grandfather and its uncles, Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia and Afa and Sika catchaient in the Sixties with step badly of success). However, the first sport in which it is interested is American football, playing in the university of Miami.

It is wounded however, before being able to take part in draft NFL of the year 1995, and then starts to play in the Canadian league or it pains to gain a role of prestige. Not taking off its career in American football, it then decides to pass to the sport of family: wrestling.

After one period of drive at Stalemate Patterson, ex intercontinental champion WWE, it is integrated in the USWA, under the name of Flex Cavana, by gaining two championships per team.

Very quickly located by Jim Ross, then recruiter of the World Wrestling Entertainment, it is selected in 1996 by the WWE, and begins under the name of Rocky Maivia in one from the greatest federations of wrestling from the United States, at the time in lose speed vis-a-vis his competitor the World Championship Wrestling. He immediately gains the match with team of the survivor series, and most important manager of the federation immediately try to integrate it in their clan.

He refuses however all the offers, which carries it to having to deny oneself the attacks of one of these manager: Jim Cornet.

Once to be itself released of Sincere Salvatore, man of Cornet, on February 10th, 1997, it gains the Intercontinental Championship vis-a-vis Triple H which it will defend victoriously against The Sultan and Savio Vega, before being finally beaten by Owen Hart, in April, where it remains besides, wounded. There will remain four months apart from the scenes, which will enable him to bring radical changes to its character. This one being that of a nice all-in wrestler, prif of personality and carachtère, who does not like the public, attracted by the anti-heroes of the type Stone Cold Steve Austin. It is whistled with each match or, in addition, it is shown more than average on the boxing ring.

After the wound, on August 11th, it turns over while deciding to adopt a new personality: it becomes The Rock , called " The People' S champion" , a “large mouth” which likes to make fun of the others and is not let go on the feet per anybody. It also starts with seriously improving on the boxing ring where it arrives by a direction of the exceptional timing and a great charisma to compensate for its lack of technique.

Thanks to its humor, its mimicry, its counterpart-shocks, its outrageous character, The Rock becomes little by little a superstar more important of the federation. It off returns in the Nation domination, clan guided by Farooq, and begins a Feud against Ken Shamrock, after having reconquered the Intercontinental Championship

He becomes soon the leader of the clan, which he initially guides against the former Farooq chief and the D-generation X of Triple H afterwards. It was because of this one that it lost the tournament of King off the Ring, and for C the two all-in wrestlers engaged in a series of combat for the intercontinental title, which finished with SummerSlam 1998, in a ladder match, gained by Triple H.

Even if beaten by Triple H and given up by its cohéquipiers, The Rock is hungry of titles, and the intercontinental title being lacking, it launches out on WWE Championship, disputed in a tournament. It is essential until arriving finally or it is opposed to Mankind, supported by the president Vince McMahon. In the course of the match, however, the president changes party and is combined with The Rock, which becomes " The Corporate Champ".

He quickly becomes one of the largest heel of the federation, and begun a feud against Mankind, betrayed by Vince McMahon, which will see initially Mankind taking again its title on January 4th, 1999, the réperdre in a violentissime I quit match with the Royal Rumble, to regain it once again in a Empty arena match, in the interval of the Super Bowl, to have definitively to give up it in a ladder match, in Raw.

The Rock begins then a competition with Stone Cold Steve Austin, one of most famous of the wrestling, which is one of the reasons of the final victory of the WWE on the WCW in the war of audience that the two concurrent federations were carried out, which ended in the bankruptcy of the WCW. After two defeats vis-a-vis Stone Cold Steve Austin, with WrestleMania XV in a No Disqualification match which him cost the title of the WWE and with Backlash 1999, The Rock passes to the face, by forming a TEAM with Mick Foley which they call Rock' N sock connection.

It turns over to the hunting of the title to the Survivor Series, in a Triple Threat match, between him, Big Show (substituent the Austin champion, invested by a car in the carpark) and Triple H, finally gained by this last.

The Rock does not release the business, and attacks hard Triple H, which tries to transfer his/her friend Cactus Jack. While this one unnecessarily tries to seize the title, the champion of the people gains the Royal Rumble, even if in way discusses, by eliminating Big Show in the last…

Being a serious doubt about the victorious manpower of Royal Rumble the WWE decides to make dispute with WrestleMania XVI a Fatal Furnace Way Elimination match between Triple H, The Rock, Cactus Jack and Big Show.

The match sees the passage of Vince McMahon at the malicious one when it helps Triple H to retain the title vis-a-vis The Rock.

The Rock'n'roll, however, with the assistance of Stone Cold Steve Austin, succeeds in taking again its title with Backlash 200. A joy of short duration, considering that it goes then the reperdre one month later to Judgment Day 2000 against same the Triple H, in a Iron Man match finished on 6-5.

The period far from the title remains on the other hand short, because it réconquérit with No Way Out 2001, vis-a-vis Kurt Angle.

It must then face an old knowledge, Stone Cold Steve Austin, returned more extremely than ever, frâiche victorious of the Royal Rumble. The two favorites of the public clash with WrestleMania X-Seven, in a splendid match, finished in favor of Austin, thanks to the intervention of Vince McMahon.

" The Peoples champ" a period far from the WWE passes then, where it turned The Mummy Returns. It returns for SummerSlam, where, in full invasion of the WCW, it succeeds in concealing Booker T world title of this federation, that it will lose shortly after against Chris Jericho, with No Mercy 2001.

This period, which goes from at the end of 2001 to the beginning of the year 2002, sees two important successes for The Rock. Above all it makes it possible team WWE to be essential against team WCW on the Survivor Series, then is essential on Wrestlemania X8, against Hulk Hogan.

It gained the Undisputed Championship with Vengeance 2002 vis-a-vis The Undertaker and Kurt Angle in a Triple Threat match.

With Summerslam 2002 it is beaten by Brock Lesnar, new fenomene of the WWE, and takes a long stop, from which it profits to turn Bienvenue in the jungle.

It will return, like heel, for a short period in 2003, when it succeeds in being essential against Hulk Hogan, for the second time, and beats Steve Austin with WM 19, and loses a match against Goldberg with Backlash 2003.

It realizes that it is difficult for him to in parallel carry out the two careers and after a last series of match in heel under the Hollywood colors, it decides to hang up again the boots to be devoted to the trade of actor.

In spite of the call of the sirens of Hollywood, The Rock remains indeed honest in Vince McMahon, the man who helped it to become a star. Between two turnings, it returns on the boxing rings each time one needs him to dope the audience of the shows. To thank it for this honesty, McMahon yields the rights to him on the name “The Rock”, which it can thus use freely (with the difference in many other all-in wrestlers whose name is the exclusive property of McMahon).

It makes despite everything some later appearances on the boxing ring, generally for promotional operations.

Rumors run and say that it would have a match with Wrestlemania 24, which would mark its great return on the boxing rings of the WWE.
