Bio

He was the most electrifying man in sports-entertainment. He is also 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. He instead used his athletic skill on the gridiron, where he starred for the University of Miami.

After a brief professional football career, The Rock decided to give WWE a shot—a choice that would 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, having classic rivalries with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.

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.

His many famous public appearances included hosting Saturday Night Live in 2000 and a speech at the 2002 Republican National Convention.

He defeated “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan in a classic match at WrestleMania X8. When Mick Foley suffered injury and humiliation at the hands of Evolution in 2004, The Rock returned to Raw to reform the Rock ’n’ Sock Connection, and the two competed as a team at WrestleMania XX in a losing effort.

That was the last time “The People’s Champion” competed in a WWE ring. No matter how much time he spends away from the ring, The Rock remains one of the most beloved WWE Superstars.

Breakdown

The Rock is one of just two Superstars in the game with 100 Charisma, so you should spend a lot of time with a full Momentum meter when playing as him.

The Rock Bottom Finisher is a directional throw that’s fairly easy to set up for huge bonuses out of the ring, with object damage bonuses by smashing your opponents through the announcer table or steps.

The Rock doesn’t drop below 80 in any attribute area, so he’s a valuable download on top of the fact that you get the dramatic People’s Elbow Finisher added to your Move-Set with his addition.
