Layin 'the Smack Down on Hollywood

Dwayne Johnson is the star of several Hollywood blockbusters, but he is perhaps best known to most of his time as a professional wrestler, The Rock. During the late '90s and '00s youth was one of the most popular and successful wrestlers in the business.

He debuted in WWE as a clean cut 'Babyface' (wrestling jargon for the hero or good guy) in 1996, Johnson became contempt for the fans, who found interesting character and unrealistic in the wake of characters such as anti-hero Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the group De-Generation-X. As a result of this reaction, Johnson eventually became 'heel' (wrestling jargon villain or bad).

Ironically, it was during this time, when the character Rock was portrayed as arrogant and devious, and often insulted fans in interviews, that Johnson was at the height of his popularity, as fans watched a real talent and charisma in him. He went on to hold the World Heavyweight Championship on nine occasions.

Johnson the great popularity with wrestling fans saw what followed soon in the footsteps of Hulk Hogan and crossed into the mainstream. While still a full time wrestler, Johnson appeared in rapper Wyclef Jean's track "It Does Matter "(" It Does not Matter "is one of the slogans of the signing of the rock). Also made a guest appearance in the comedy host program U.S. 'Saturday Night Live' (a role usually reserved for film stars and pop), perfectly showing the quality and comedy skills. Johnson soon got his first film role as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns.

The work of Johnson earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records, the largest amount paid to an actor for the first time (U.S. $ 5.5 million). He resumed the role, this time as the star, the subsequent spin-off, titled The Scorpion King. appearances Johnson wrestling became less and less as he began to focus on his acting career. He appeared in action films more, including Walking strong and Doom, but they all either bombed at the box office, or were appointed by the critics - or both.

In October 2007, Johnson and his wife donated $ 1 million U.S. the University of Miami athletics department, the largest amount donated to the University by a former student - Johnson attended college in 1990, playing defense deal the Hurricanes of Miami. In 1992, he joined the team that won the National Championship.

Hurricanes are the team college football's most successful last twenty years in America, and have won more national championships than any other team in their division. Since 2008, The Hurricanes play their home games begin of location in the Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens. If a person wants to visit this famous stadium first and see the Hurricanes in the action themselves, there are many href = "http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/hotels/index.do?ctyhocn=MIACICI"> available hotels in Miami.

Since his last major race WWE ended in 2003, Johnson has stated repeatedly in interviews that he has done with wrestling. He has not made occasional appearances in WWE wrestling television in recent years, but is unlikely to ever really fight again - considering that their average salary of film $ 10 million U.S., Johnson has more movies than I ever could hope to do in the wrestling ring!
