Advantages: Entertaining, funny, great mic skills, great wrestler

Disadvantages: The Rock leaving wrestling

The Rock former WWE wrestler now Actor known by his real name Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is one of the best wrestlers WWE has had with his fantastic mic skills which should make anyone laugh and also was great wrestling.

The Rock won his first WWE title on Thursday Raw on 13th February 1997 against Triple H this match can be seen on The Rock: The Most Electrifying man in Sports Entertainment DVD. The Rock has made an impact on WWE which is legacy will never be forgoten with some of his classic promos who could forget Rock This is Your Life with Mick Foley (Mankind), The Rock VS Austin from 3 WrestleMania events, his feud with Triple H I could go on.

The Rock phrases are also popular such as Know Your Role and Shut your Mouth, Do you Smell what The Rock is cooking, Millions of Millions of Rock's fan's, The rock's 'strudel (which has been said to Michael Coal and Lillan Garcia). What ever the Rock said on WWE really does make you laugh and it brought great entertainment to the show.

I am a big fan of The Rock I own all his DVD's from his DVD Know your Role, The People's Champ, Just Bring it and his brand new one The Most Electrifying man in Sports Entertainment DVD. The thing about the DVD's it they give you the background character of The Rock. The Rock's newest DVD which may be his last shows you 19 of his best matches from WWE but some great ones were missing, one of the best parts is the extras as it does feature 16 promos with The Rock on the mic which are just really funny and fantastic to add to the DVD.

The Rock returned to WWE in 2008 in induct his Rocky Johnson, and his grandfather Peter Maivia. But before The Rock did that he had things to say to John Cena for bad mouthing during an interview well The Rock check out Hall of Fame 2008 it's worth watching to see what The Rock says to him.

The Rock has also done well in his film career but just not as great as wrestling. The Rock's best movie's he has done in my opinion is The Game Plan, Walking Tall and Welcome To the Jungle also called The Rundown. While others such as Doom which was just bad but clearly was not The Rock's fault even The Rock on Hall of Fame 2008 said how bad it was.

Now I'll talk aout The Rock's wrestling career with WWE

The Rock has had a good career with wrestling first coming into WWE with the name Rocky Maivia. The Rock really became a bigger star with feuds with Stone Cold Steve Austin and D-X. This would later change The Rock from been the bad guy to been the good guy though at Survivor Series 1998 The Rock would join the McMahons which was called The Corporation. The Rock would leave The Corporation in 1999 later in the year he team up with Mick Foley for The Rock N Sock Connection which they did get the WWE Tag Team titles three times. The Rock N Sock Connection's promo of Rock This is Your life which had The Rock's Cooking Teacher, his gym teacher and his high school girlfriend, oh and the Clown this was Raw's highest Segment and a great one to which is a much watch to see The Rock disrespect them.

In 2000 The Rock would win The 2000 Royal Rumble though Big Show thought he won but the official winner was The Rock. A feud broke out other this which would lead to there match at No Way Out to see who would be in the main event at WrestleMania 16 The Rock would lose. Leading up to WrestleMania 16 it would later be McMahon in every corner and the match would be Big Show with Shane McMahon, Triple H with Stephanie McMahon, Mick Foley with Linda McMahon, The Rock with Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon would turn on the Rock which would lead to Triple H staying WWE Champion. At Backlash 2000 The Rock won his fourth title with the help of Stone Cold Steve Austin. This would later lead up to Triple H VS The Rock at Judgement Day 2000 The Undertaker returned and started to beat up Triple H which would lead to The Rock been disqualified and Triple H been the WWE Champion. The Rock would win back the title at King of The Ring 2000 as he teamed up with Kane and Undertaker VS Triple H, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon. The Rock won this match after giving Vince McMahon a rock bottom. The Rock would later lose the title at No Mercy 2000 to Kurt Angle.

In 2001 his feud with Kurt Angle was still going which would lead up to No Way Out 2001 where The Rock would defeat Kurt Angle to become WWE Champion and defend it at WrestleMania 17. During the feud with Stone Cold came out well and was done great the match in my opinion was one of the best matches of The Rock's of all time even though Vince McMahon joined with Stone Cold to take out The Rock. The Rock would leave the next night as Triple H and Stone Cold would both take out The Rock which would leave his exit as The Rock was going to do The Mummy Returns.

The Rock would return and would of a chance at the WCW Championship in a match against Booker T which would lead The Rock to become new champion. The Rock still had a feud with Booker T until Unforgiven where The Rock would defeat Shane McMahon and Booker T. At No Mercy 2001 Chris Jericho would defeat The Rock which would make him WCW Champion but on Raw The Rock would beat Chris Jericho making The Rock WCW Champion again. This would now lead up to Survivor Series 2001 The Alliance VS WWE winner takes all The Rock would later win that match. At Vengeance 2001 the final event of the year had The Rock VS Chris Jericho which The Rock would lose the WCW Championship and later making Jericho Undisputed Champion.

2002 and the feud between Jericho and The Rock was still going again it was for the WCW Championship but Chris Jericho would retain it. I'll skip past No Way Out as it's not important. Now this would lead up to Hulk Hogan VS The Rock at WrestleMania 18 Hogan was playing heel (bad guy) as part of nWo while The Rock was playing face (good guy). Rock defeated Hogan after the match Rock would later shake hands of Hogan and do some of his taunts. At Vengeance 2002 The Rock would win his 7th WWE Championship against Kurt Angle and Undertaker which this would be his final WWE Championship win. Rock would lose the title at Summerslam 2002 against Brock Lesnar.

The Rock returned in 2003 as a heel this would lead up to another match at No Way Out 2003 against Hulk Hogan. The Rock would win the match with the help of Vince McMahon and Sylvain Grenier due to a black out in the arena. Now I'll skip to WrestleMania 19 The final match that took place with The Rock VS Stone Cold which The Rock would finally win. After the match you see The Rock chatting to Stone Cold as he layed out after that The Rock sees his family and hugs them. The Rock would later have his final match of 2003 against Goldbreg at Backlash 2003 where Goldbreg would defeat The Rock. After that match The Rock talks to the fans and thanks them.

The Rock would have his final WWE match at WrestleMania 20 where he would be with Mick Foley Rock N Sock Connection returns against Evolution. Mick Foley would be pinned by Randy Orton thus Foley and Rock losing. After that The Rock made special one off appearances.

The Rock will never be forgotten he has certainly made his mark in WWE history and even in the movie business to me he will be forever called The Rock. Plus if it was not for The Rock he just would not have got me into watching wrestling.

Summary: The Rock has left his mark in WWE and will always be remembered as The People's Champion
