Superstar Bio:-
Dwayne Johnson was born on May 2, 1972 in Hayward, California. He is a third generation wrestler. His father is Rocky Johnson and his grandfather, on his mother's side, was the late Peter Maivia. He was a member of the 1991 national champion Miami Hurricane football team. While attending Miami, he met and later married Dany Johnson (Garcia). Their daughter, Simone Alexandra, was born in 2001.
Dwayne was trained to wrestle by his father and Pat Patterson. He started wrestling in 1995. As Rocky Maivia, he made his WWE debut at the 1996 Survivor Series. He quickly went on to become the Intercontinental champion. Even though he was a face (good guy), the fans hated him. During his matches, the fans would chant "Rocky Sucks". After a brief absence, Rocky Maivia turned into the Rock.
The Rock was an arrogant heel that spoke about himself in the third person. As a bad guy, his promos were incredible and he seemed to come up with a new catch phrase on a continual basis. It was during this time that he came up with his signature gimmicks "The People's Eyebrow" and "The People's Elbow" with the joke being that he was the bad guy that the people hated.
While Steve Austin was the top performer in the company, it was obvious that The Rock was about to reach that level. The Rock became WWE Champion at the 1998 Survivor Series, which was his second anniversary in the WWE. He would go on to main event 3 WrestleMania shows against Austin. Starting in 2000, the Rock would take a lot of time off due to his new film career.
In 2000, his autobiography, The Rock Says, went to number 1. Hollywood took notice and he hosted Saturday Night Live to promote WrestleMania 2000. His performance was so good that he received the role of the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns. While it was only a cameo role, he stole the movie and starred in the prequel, The Scorpion King.
By 2001, his wrestling career was a few months on and a few months off. However, his matches were always the main event and while his feuds were short they were memorable. In 2002, the fans were treated to a dream match when he finally got in the ring against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X-8. In 2004, he wrestled his final match at WrestleMania XX.
He has also competed on other minor feds before joining EWA and USW.

Entrance Moves:-
The Rock's theme music hits the arena and the crowd go wild. Then The Rock appears at the top of the ramp, and he begins to walk down to the ring. The Rock walks up the steps of the ring, walks over to the corner... on the outside of the ring... and steps up on the second rope, lifting his arm in the air. He stares around at all the crowd. He then gets inside the ring, walks accross the the other side, gets up on the second rope, and repeats what he did on the outside corner of the ring. The Rock gets down from the second rope to get ready for the match ahead.
Alingment: Face
Gimmick: If Face, then The Rock is a crowd favourite who never backs down. If Heel, then The Rock is an arrogant ass who likes to make a lot of jokes.
Wrestling Style: Technical but he likes to brawl
Other: You'll often see him steal his opponent's finisher, especially in big match situations.
