10 Wrestlers Who Found Life After Wrestling
1. The Rock
It should go without saying that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made the most successful post-wrestling transition of anyone in the history of the business. The Rock is now arguably a bigger star than he ever was in the WWE, thanks to a successful career as an action film star. He is now, all these years later, the heir apparent to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who passed the torch to him all those years ago in a cameo in The Rundown.
The likes of the G.I. Joe franchise, the Fast & Furious franchise, and standalone films like Snitch, Pain and Gain, Faster, San Andreas, and so on have cemented Johnson as a Hollywood A-lister, and while he'll always be associated with wrestling (and will no doubt continue to come back for short stints), there's no question that the Rock has found life after wrestling - and a heck of a life it is!
Coming up, he will play Black Adam in DC's Shazam, and is currently starring and producing HBO's Ballers.
