Why is Dwayne Johnson Called “THE ROCK“??
In spite of the fact that his real name is Dwayne Douglas Johnson, he’s mostly called “THE ROCK”. So what’s the reason behind this? Why is he still called by this name? Let’s FIND OUT!
In 1996, Dwayne Johnson entered in the World Wrestling Federation and adopted the stage name Rocky Maivia.
Dwayne Johnson’s father and grandfather both were professional wrestlers under the names Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia respectively.
And, Dwayne got the idea of this alias from there. However, fans didn’t like his new stage name “Rocky Maivia”. Thus, Dwayne knew he had to make some changes.
In 1997, Dwayne Johnson began to drop the name Rocky Maivia and began simply calling himself “THE ROCK”. Also, THE ROCK now adopted a rougher personality and played up the dark side.
Now, Dwayne The Rock Johnson became a hit with fans and his popularity skyrocketed overnight.
Dwayne Johnson Career:
Dwayne Douglas Johnson was a college football player in the University of Miami. In this place, Johnson won a national championship on 1991 Miami Hurricanes team.
After being cut from the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL two months into 1995 season, he began the training of wrestling as professional career.
He followed the footsteps of family members including his grandfather Peter Maivia and his father Rocky Johnson, from whom he inherited the Canadian citizenship in the year 2009. Dwayne The Rock Johnson has widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
Dwayne gained mainstream fame in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) from 1996 to 2004 and was promoted as the first third-generation wrestler in the company’s history.
He returned to WWE part-time from the year 2011 to 2013 and continues to make occasional appearances on the program.
He is an eight time WWF/WWE Champion, two time WWF Intercontinental Champion, two time WCW/World Champion and a five time WWF Tag Team Champion.
Dwayne Douglas Johnson is the sixth Triple Crown Champion in WWE and won the 2000 Royal Rumble. His autobiography The Rock Says… debuted as No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list in the year 2000.
Dwayne’s first leading film role was in The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Scorpion King (2002). Dwayne decided to left his wrestling career to continue full time acting in 2004.
In his acting career, Dwayne was advised to ditch his wrestling image by the Hollywood management.
According to Dwayne in the British show “This Morning”,
“I was told at that time by the management that I had around me, ‘You know, you have to forget about your past. You can’t bring wrestling up. We have to slowly leave that behind. Let’s not refer to yourself as The Rock. Let’s make sure that everybody is calling you Dwayne Johnson.”
Now he tried to listen to his management and did everything to change his old image. He slimmed down and made distance from his wrestling life.
But after some time, Dwayne decided to stay away from those negative people.
He was paid 5.5 million dollars, which is a world record for an actor in his first starring role. One of his more prominent recurring roles is Luke Hobbs in Fast and the Furious franchise.
He hosted and produced The Hero, a reality competition series and has since continued to produce the TV shows and films. Namely, his production company is Seven Bucks Productions.

Dwayne got sentimental in his caption, as he wrote: “I ain’t gonna be able to hold them like this forever…” The wrestler turned actor went on to discuss how he “snatches them up” every chance he gets because he does not want to miss time he still can.

What ‘The Rock’ Says About Becoming The US President:

The actor says,
“I don’t think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club — but if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve you, the people.”
He further says,
“I’m not being coy when I say that, but at the moment I am not sure. I can’t deny that the thought of being governor, the thought of being president, is alluring. And beyond that, it would be an opportunity to make a real impact on people’s lives on a global scale.”
“I’m not a politician. … I’m not the president of the United States. But I am a man, and I am a father who cares so deeply about my family, about my children and the world that they will live in. I care so deeply about our country and every single person in it.”
“I am a man who is frustrated. I’m disappointed. I’m angry. But I’m also doing my best to stay focused and as calm as I could possibly be in the pocket to make the best decisions for my family and make the best decisions for our country.”
