Dwayne was born in Canada to a Canadian father and a
Samoan mother. He went to Richmond Road Primary School in New Zealand and
President William McKinley High School in Honolulu, Hawaii for his tenth grade.
Dwayne was well-known and respected for his sportsmanship abilities since he
was a child.He was also a member of the track and field and wrestling teams at
his school. He did, however, accept a full-time scholarship to play defensive
lineman at the University of Miami. Johnson was a promising football player who
had several offers from other institutions.
His future appeared promising until an accident clipped off
his wings before they could fully develop. After graduation, he returned to
football, this time with the Calgary Stampeders in 1995. He was released by the
team two months into the season. He was depressed since he only had $7 in his
pocket at the moment. Dwayne spent his time cleaning and living in his modest
apartment. The Calgary Stampeders' coach called him one day and asked him to
come around. Dwayne, on the other hand, had different ideas.
Dwayne wants to go into the wrestling profession and
wrestle. When Rocky heard this, he cautioned Dwayne that it would be the
"worst mistake he would ever make." Dwayne believed in himself and
begged his father to coach him. Despite his reservations at first, Rocky
cleared the road for his son. Dwayne's professional wrestling career began
there. Dwayne was taught by Rocky and Pat Patterson, and a year after being
released from the Stampeders, he made his WWE debut at the 1996 Survivor
Series. Initially, things did not go as planned for him.
The crowd was not receptive to him, and it appeared that he
was destined to be just another doomed genius in the industry, as his father
had warned. But he's not going to back down. Dwayne's persona was changed, and
WWE's "attitude" shifted in his favour, and he finally got a platform
to exhibit his abilities.
Fast forward two decades, and Dwayne has become a wrestling
icon. He is among the most recognisable names in Hollywood. Dwayne Johnson's
net worth is now believed to be $400 million. Dwayne "The Rock"
Johnson's tale is just magnificent, from the youngster who sobbed his heart out
in his little apartment due to sadness, to the guy who inspires millions across
the world. It's like a butterfly's narrative; in reality, Dwayne Johnson is a
butterfly who encourages us to soar.
