The Rock is the most famous sports entertainer in the history of the business. As Hollywood's number one actor and the official Sexiest Man Alive, Rocky stands alone at the top of mainstream professional wrestlers, the man who left the squared circle to conquer Hollywood and did so with aplomb.

We remember The Rock's wrestling career in a number of ways, but they are usually clouded by catchphrases, moments and battles. We remember his teams, his main events and his threats, but somewhat lost in all of this are 10 world championship victories, 10 victories spread out over 15 years.

From winning the vacant title with help from the McMahons at Survivor Series 1998 to stopping Vince McMahon stripping CM Punk and doing so himself at Royal Rumble, Rocky stood tall as a good guy, a bad guy, and as The Guy (gulp). It was a time of titles being thrown around for sure, but you still need to be the man trusted with catching it.

How do the title wins stack up against each other? It could be argued that Rocky never truly had that defining championship winning moment, the boyhood dream moment where he clutches what he has always dreamt of. His wins were parts of stories, as opposed to the story themselves.

Here are The Rock's 10 World Championship wins, from worst to best.
