4. The Rock
As far as icons go, third-generation superstar The Rock is right up there. Sure, Rocky is a good in-ring performer, but it's that intangible "it factor" that makes Dwayne Johnson stand out amongst so many of his peers. The Rock oozes charisma and cool, and his whole "electrifying" shtick really is true. Wherever you see him, The Rock instantly grabs your attention. Of course, The Rock is another name who transcends the world of professional wrestling. Many before him have tried to crack the allusive Hollywood nut, but all have faltered. For Dwayne Johnson, he has managed to become one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, with his movies regularly bringing in huge numbers. Even now, whenever The Rock returns to WWE television, there's the instant feeling of 'can't miss TV' amongst those watching. The Rock represents what pro wrestling is all about: entertainment. There are only a few names who are more iconic in professional wrestling, but The Rock is likely the most entertaining performer to ever step into the squared circle.
