Married in May 1997, the most industry-rocking thing about The Rock's divorce from Dany Garcia after a decade of marriage is that unlike every other wrestling divorce ever, the duo remain friends and still do business together as Garcia is The Rock's business manager. Thus, unlike other semi-retired/ex-wrestlers, The Rock has not been befallen by issues surrounding divorce settlements and child support payments so onerous that they drive ex-wrestlers into debt. The separation between the man born Dwayne Johnson and Ms. Garcia has actually led to The Rock's wealth increasing exponentially since leaving a full-time WWE schedule, which is impressive. In proving that pro wrestling divorces need not be scandalous situations, The Rock again proves to be a once-in-a-lifetime sports entertainment performer.
