The
Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson started with $7 dollars in his pocket as a 23 year old struggling to make a name for himself in American Football, Dwayne
turned his attention to what his father, Grandfather and so many from his Samoan
heritage had been so successful at and decided to try his hand at Pro
Wrestling, it was a decision that would change his life forever.
Dwayne debuted as Rocky Malvia in WWE in 1997 and now in 2016, 19 years later The Rock isn’t just the biggest wrestling star of all time but Dwayne Johnson is on his way to becoming the biggest star in Hollywood as well.

If
you see what he posts on social media Dwayne has never forgotten what is
important he posts a lot about the importance of family, how important there
are and how integral they are too him, he also sends out messages about tolerance
in our society and treating everyone with respect, as well as working hard and training
hard too to achieve results, Dwayne is very inspirational and I believe takes great
pride and importance in being a role model for so many throughout the world.
As a
huge wrestling fan and seeing wrestling or Sports Entertainment since the age
of 5 years old I will always class The Rock as a Wrestler 1st it was
the wrestler that captivated me so much, made me buy his action figures, Tshirts
and merchandise.
The Rock
debuted when I was 12 years old and through my teenage years The Rock, Undertaker,Steve
Austin, Triple H and Mankind were the top of the tree in WWE and I got treated
to some tremendous action, amazing rivalries and matches.
The
Rock then Left WWE in 2002 to go and film Movies and start establishing a
career away from WWE. A lot of people and fans didn’t like The Rock for that
but I saw no problem in it. The Rock had achieved everything he wanted to at
that time in WWE and he wanted a new challenge and to try and conquer a
different world of Movies and entertainment. At the time it was the right
decision for him and in hindsight was 100% correct decision to make.
The
Rock was away from Wrestling for a number of Years he came back for one off appearances
and had a match at Wrestlemania 20 with Mick Foley vs Evolution. Then there was
a gap in time and the The Rock next major appearance back for WWE actually came
at WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemaina 22 when inducting his father Rocky Johnson into WWE
Hall of Fame

Then
in 2011 On the run up to Wrestlemaina 27 It was announced on WWE Raw (WWE
flagship weekly show) that they were going to announce a Host of Wrestlemania. Rumors had been circulating all
week and rumours were that Justin Biebler or some other entertainment star was
going to host the show.
Then
the lights go out electricity sounds are heard throughout the arena then, The Rock
Theme hits, the crowd went insane, everyone at home went insane, I never
thought id get to see The Rock back in WWE and here he is!! It was an
incredible comeback moment one which cannot be duplicated to this day.
Following
Wrestlemania 27 The Rock came out the next night on WWE Raw and challenged John
Cena for a match at Wrestlemania 28 the challenge was accepted and one of the
greatest feuds in Wrestling history began.
Rock
vs Cena throughout that year 2011-2012 whether it be promos, their match at
Survivor Series, Verbal altercations it was all great.
It
was trailblazing too 1st Time
it had ever been done a years build to a match at Wrestlemaina. At Wrestlemania
28 The Rock and John Cena were in the main event in front of a sold out crowd
in Miami Florida and they saw The Rock beat John Cena in one of the best
Wrestlemania main events of all time.
I
was hooked I had to go to Wrestlemaina 29. I knew The Rock was going to be
there. I had wanted to go to Wrestlemaina since I was a child I had never been
able to see The Rock Wrestle live, it was never an opportunity I had. However
now being older I wasn’t going to let it slip through my fingers.

I was able to live out my dream see
Wrestlemaina in front of 80,000 + and see The Rock vs John Cena 2. The feeling
of The Rock Music hitting and seeing him walk out in person there is no other
feeling like it, It was incredible I could feel it in my bones it was better than
anything I had never imagined.
That
is why The Rock at Wrestlemaina 32 makes so much sense. I paid my money because
I wanted to see The Rock on the biggest stage possible, If the Rock coming back
gives 100,000 people the same feeling that I had in New York then its worth it.
From a fan satisfaction standpoint getting to
see The Rock live is something a lot of fans want to do and experience and is
something that you cannot do every week or every month as fans were used too in
1999 it is now a rare opportunity and one I recommend that fans should take
with both hands.
From
a commercial standpoint its excellent for WWE it helps WWE. The Rock has more
Twitter followers, Instgram Followers and Facebook Friends than Combined
viewers of WWE programming domestically. The Rock reach throughout Social Media
and the world is huge, he can help attract the large audience that WWE needs.
The Rock has the ability to attract the casual viewer that may know him only
from films and may check out Wrestlemania as they have never seen wrestling
before that fans if he sees it and enjoys it may stay with the product.
That
is how The Rock helps the rest of the WWE Roster, With More causal fans coming
in to see Wrestlemaina 32 means more fans seeing the other members of the WWE
Roster too, it’s a chance of the rest of the talent in WWE to sell themselves
to those fans that may not tune into WWE every week.
The Rock
coming back makes it better for everyone because With The Rock Coming back
everyone wins. The roster get to benefit from The Rock Begin back, it helps
elevate the WWE to the next level and that then makes the talent challenge themselves
on that next level too the experience WWE roster will gain will be invaluable.
There
will be more eyes on Wresltemaina with The Rock now a mainstream star more
media outlets, everyone from Variety, ESPN, Entertainment tonight to small One
man blogs like this one your reading means more attention on the product which
means more attention on WWE Roster which again means WWE roster stars will be
in even more of the limelight.
All
of this will translate into Dollars of WWE, Dollars for Texas and Surrounding
area helping build the economy and making it stronger and more resilient.
That
is what one man Dwayne The Rock Johnson brings with him to Wrestlemania
What
Dwayne brings is going to Benefit everybody
