21 Rare Photos Of The Rock You Need To See

The Rock is one of the best examples of a crossover star available in the world of pro wrestling. In fact, Dwayne Johnson is often the premier example people use when discussing those who have successfully transitioned from the world of in-ring performance, to acting. To those who watched him in WWE, The Rock's charisma and ability behind a camera has been obvious for a long, long time, but humble beginnings, and a less-than-stellar start to his wrestling career gave little indication that Johnson would go on to become the household name he is today. Like any top celebrity, Johnson is ripe for rarities, especially when it comes to pictures and footage from behind the scenes. Having been around since the mid-1990's, the man once known as Rocky Maivia has done it all in wrestling, and this bank of rare images aims to show exactly how diverse and interesting a performer Dwayne Johnson truly is. Multi-time World Champion, worldwide box office attraction, and 'the most electrifying man in sports entertainment', The Rock has captured the imaginations of millions with his actions, words and catchphrases. These pictures give a little snapshot into the rarely-seen side of the man's world, and further cement just how interesting a life he leads!

Another of The Rock's biggest feuds was against The Big Show, but Paul Wight has a notorious good nature.

This off-camera shot sees both men laughing and having fun, something fans perhaps don't see enough of wrestlers doing nowadays.
