DWAYNE JOHNSON
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a multifaceted American entertainer, born May 2, 1972, who has achieved success as an actor, professional wrestler, and businessman. He initially gained fame in the WWE, where he was known for his charisma and catchphrases. Johnson debuted as Rocky Maivia, a name he was reluctant to use. He was a reluctant hero and after fan backlash, he turned heel, joining the Nation of Domination. His wrestling career included multiple championships and main event appearances, including a notable rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Transitioning to acting, he became one of Hollywood's highest-paid and most successful actors. He is also a successful businessman with ventures such as Teremana Tequila. The Rock has continued to make part-time returns to the WWE, most recently as "The Final Boss".
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, was initially reluctant to use the ring name "Rocky Maivia," which combined his father's and grandfather's names, but was convinced by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. He was also nicknamed "The Blue Chipper" and promoted as the WWF's first third-generation wrestler.
Although he is of both Black Nova Scotian and Samoan heritage, Johnson identifies as both equally and is proud of both. His father, Rocky Johnson, was a Black Nova Scotian with some Irish ancestry, and his mother is Samoan.
Johnson's maternal grandmother, Lia Maivia, was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death and managing it until 1988. She ran the promotion from 1982 to 1988.
