The fact that Rock's wrestling career is so well remembered is amazing considering how short it was.

[@irondino247]

That’s the thing I always think about. By 2001 he was already considered a legend, Icon and one of the biggest ever. And his career had just started in 96, that’s nuts

[@mattorama]

@@irondino247 By 1999 he already went by "The Great One!"

[@Phil_Mitchell]

He was a better wrestler than he is a Hollywood actor that's for sure...

[@LexTanMedia]

And in 1994-1995, he was getting booed out of buildings, and being told by the fans to die. Turned it all around and became one of the greatest ever.

[@ajo4203]

Let’s not summarize this. The Rock and Stone Cold are THE greatest ever. You can argue for Cena, but it’s a pseudo argument. Nobody in the industry made the advances monetarily or culturally like those two (prior to social media). The Rock had way more to him and that’s why Hollywood supported him being the best selling actor for years. Nobody else from the industry is close. The attitude era is the WWE at its finest. The Rock ran that era.

It must've been a treat to see The Rock in front of the Millions....

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

The Rock is the most mainstream recognized wrestler of all time. People who don't watch wrestling know who he is. Even kids know who he is. More than Hulk Hogan in the 80s. He has wrestling pedigree in his blood. He was well rounded, can do everything well in the ring, and can convincingly keep up with any opponent. A victory over The Rock can make a star instantly, as seen by the invincible Brock Lesnar. Definitely in the top 5 greatest of all time is The Rock

[@leonidashitler4972]

Not true at all. Rock doesn't come close to Hogan in the 80s.
