Years before reaching the level of Hollywood megastardom that he has today, Dwayne Johnson went by The Rock and made his name on the professional wrestling stage, becoming one of the biggest stars to ever lace a pair of boots.
Debuting as Rocky Maivia, The Rock would have an incredible journey that saw him go from generic good-looking babyface to the charismatic megastar that we came to know. It may surprise many people when they find out that his time as the face of the WWE lasted only about three years or so. But in that time, he clashed heads with some of the greatest in the history of the business.
It’s no surprise that he became such an icon in a short span of time and one of the biggest box office draws in wrestling. Through the years, The Rock has had some outstanding matches against some larger-than-life characters. These five are arguably his best matches.
