On the 23rd of this month, Dwayne Johnson's new work "Fast and Furious: Special Operations" will be released in China. Recently, Johnson, who was busy with the pre-promotion of the film, personally admitted that he had retired from WWE...
Although Johnson has not appeared on the WWE show for more than three years, as the best spokesperson for WWE in the world, Dwayne Johnson has never left the vision of a wrestling fan! We always look forward to when Johnson will be able to return to WWE's ring again to fight a "battle of the century" with his cousin Roman Raines. Now it seems impossible—
"I've quietly retired from professional wrestling at the moment and I've been lucky enough to have a flawless wrestling career and have done everything I want to accomplish, but there's nothing better than a live audience and a microphone presentation. In addition, wrestling accompanied my growth. My grandfather, my dad are all wrestlers, and my family is a wrestling family. Actually my first game at WWE was in Madison Square Garden, which was simply amazing! It can be said that without professional wrestling, there would be no Dwayne Johnson today..."
Seeing the cute little child in this photo, do you recognize who he really is?
He's WWE and Hollywood amphibious superstar, Dwayne Johnson!
Dwayne Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, into a famous wrestling family, the son of one of the first black duo in history to win the WWE doubles title, named Rocky Johnson.

Johnson's family of three
His grandfather was Peter Maivia, a wrestler related to the famous Samoa Anoa'i (surname) wrestling family. Players such as Roman Reigns, Umaga and the Usos are all members of the Aoa'i wrestling family.
Johnson's maternal grandfather
For various reasons, Dwayne Johnson lived in various places in his youth. Born into a famous wrestling player, he has a strong sports gene, and began to show his sharp edge in junior high school. At the age of 15, after a simple workout, he has become slightly taller. And he was a member of the school's football team and wrestling team—
(Are you sure you're 15?) ）
In high school, he played rugby and dislocated his shoulders, and his grade point was only 0.7. Under the harsh lessons of his father, Johnson studied hard, ranked among the best, and insisted on practicing rugby in his spare time, and finally graduated from high school with a full scholarship to join the University of Miami's football team as a defensive interceptor of the varsity team.
I thought I was going to become handsome,
As a result, he became like this again
And something like this~
After graduating from college, he joined the Canadian Football League, but due to injury, his position was replaced by someone else. It was late 1994, which indirectly led to his determination to join the wrestling industry and follow in the footsteps of his father and maternal grandfather. However, the father initially refused to let his son play wrestling, but looking at Johnson's insistence, he eventually allowed Johnson to join the professional wrestling industry and personally trained Johnson. His father warned him that wrestling was not as simple as you might think.
In this way, Johnson trained wrestling for a year with the help of his father, and in 1996 Johnson became like this again.
Johnson then made his WWE debut with the stupidest hairstyle ever made (Described by Johnson himself). His name was Rocky Maivia. The first name used the father's rocky, while the last name used the grandfather's maiivia.
Entering the period of wwe's bad attitude, almost all of the big stars of wwe jumped ship to the opponent wcw. WWE Chairman Old Mai was forced to innovate, which also allowed some talented players to start shining. The most popular people are Steve Austen and Dwayne Johnson. From 97 to 98, Locke's figure lines began to be obvious, and finally he gradually embarked on the road of high value.

The arm also began to have a bull's head tattoo
if you smell……
In the next two years, Dwayne Johnson was at WWE, winning the WWE World Championship and attracting hollywood attention. In 2001, at the age of 29, he starred in the first Hollywood blockbuster film "The Return of the Mummy". But it was also at the beginning of the year that he began to focus on his acting career and said that he needed to take a break from WWE.
If you're a wrestler, you can't fail to recognize Dwayne Johnson. But the era that belonged to Dwayne Johnson stopped forever in 2002...
Locke's figure line is even more stylish!
In 2002, at the age of 30, he starred in his second Hollywood film, The Scorpion King, and in the same year he returned to WWE with his role as a "Hollywood superstar". Soon after, he had a large tattoo on his arm.
Those familiar with WWE know that these are totem tattoos of the Samoan family. There is also this tattoo on Johnson's grandfather, which looks very savage, but it is very handsome on Johnson!
Handsome Johnson out of the sky!
In 2003-2004, he tried his best to juggle film and wrestling. But it's really hard to juggle both identities for a long time, so some time after the two big battles with Steve Austen and Goebbel, Johnson announced his departure from WWE...
And then down, the film keeps coming—
《Competition Plan》
"Reinvigorating the Ball Style"
2007 was already handsome and rich
Dwayne Johnson's acting career got more and more on track, and for a while he refused to talk about anything about returning to WWE.
However, the real thing he can't forget was the place where the dream began, Wwe. At the 27th Wrestling Mania Tournament in 2011, he returned as a guest host and physically clashed with WWE's top player at the time, John Senna. This also led to the two playing two games for the next two years.
In addition to the battle with Senna, Johnson has also had many classic shots of WWE in recent years, such as joining forces with Ronda Rossi in the wrestling mania competition.

In terms of movies, in recent years, Johnson has taken over more Hollywood blockbuster movies, such as:
Geocentric Adventures 2: The Mysterious Island
The Fast & Furious series
"Apocalypse Collapse"
Brave Games: Jungle Quest
Skyscraper Rescue
The tough guy image he played has long gone out of Europe and the United States and is deeply loved by fans all over the world. Almost every work is a popular classic...
In addition, he is also the father of three daughters -
The eldest daughter of his ex-wife recently announced that he had signed a modeling contract with a famous modeling company abroad
Outside of work, Johnson spends a lot of time with his girlfriend, and another daughter...
As a movie superstar, a wrestling superstar, and a father of two daughters, Johnson is already a winner in life. But now at 47 years old, he is not lazy at all. He still insists on exercising, a habit that is said to have persisted for nearly 30 years!
30 years like a day, until now, Johnson still maintains 6 days a week to practice, rest 1 day, it is this frequency, practiced a rock-like strong figure! 4.10 minutes, which is the time he gets up every day.
Wrestler is also an amateur gym iron player, and every time he is lazy, he is ashamed to think of Dwayne Johnson... People are so successful and still insist on fitness, what reason do you have to continue to be lazy?
Looking back at the appearance of Dwayne Johnson in the past, it is indeed quite funny, and there are still many netizens spoofing -
But now, when you put on your clothes, Johnson's painting style is like this...
Simply domineering!!!
He had played a piece of the sky at WWE
He is now the most gold-sucking superstar in the film industry.
He exercised almost every day
Hard work, the achievement of this very attractive man
Last month, Forbes announced the 2019 "World's Highest Paid Celebrities" Top 100, with singer Taylor Swift topped with $185 million in annual revenue. Dwayne Johnson ranked #1 in actors and #15 on the overall list with $89.4 million. More than "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. and Chinese kung fu superstar Jackie Chan and many other international movie stars!
At the end of the article, we summarize Johnson's career with a sentence that Stephanie McMan said:
Forbes ranked him at the top of Hollywood actors' pay lists, People magazine called him the sexiest man, and Harvard Business School set him as a role model. He is a producer, an entrepreneur and the head of his own media business empire. Of course, I always believe that he is the most exciting male star in the world of sports and entertainment, and he will always accompany WWE, entertaining countless wrestling fans..."
We look forward to the day in the future when the sound of "if you smell..." will ring out again on the WWE show!
