10 Secret Debuts Of Famous Wrestlers
4. The Rock
As NBC's Young Rock has already highlighted, Dwayne Johnson was born into - and born to be brilliant at - a certain brand of superstardom.
And though he makes sure to remind the world of his "seven bucks" rags-to-riches story (the name of his production company and the money he had in his pocket in between his exit from the Canadian Football League and entry into WWE), there's a charm to the youthful 'Great One' that has aided him from second generation star watching his Dad to eventual United States President that probably leads the rest of us off this planet to start anew. Even during the now-infamous turtle neck/chain/elbow-resting-on-a-napkin years.
A 1984 scene from Championship Wrestling bears this out - a teenage Johnson is seen ringside for father Rocky's match, but there's an intangible star quality about the youngster even then that suggests he'll spend more time on the other side of the guardrail. Or stage, screen, or White House Desk.
