Superstar Biography ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Dwayne Johnson Birthdate: May 2nd, 1972 Hometown: Miami, Florida Height: 6'5" Weight: 275 lbs. Marital Status: Married to Dany Garcia Johnson Debut Date: 1995 Website: http://therock.com Title History/Notable Wins: USWA Tag Team Titles WWF (Now WWE) Intercontinental Championship WWF ( Now WWE) Championship WWF (now World) Tag Team Championship WCW (Now World) Heavyweight Championship 2000 Royal Rumble Winner WWE.Com Biography: He is the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment. He is quickly becoming one of the most recognized faces on the planet and one of the hottest celebrities in all walks of life. Call him whatever you want, but to the millions -- and millions - of fans around the world, there is no substitute for The Rock. A third generation WWE Superstar, The Rock at first did not plan to follow in the family tradition of sports entertainment stardom, but instead used his athletics heredity on the gridiron where he starred for the University of Miami. After a very brief professional football career, The Rock decided to give WWE a shot -- a choice that would prove to begin a new era in the entertainment world. In only a few years, The Rock was a multi-time WWE Champion and one of the most celebrated superstars to ever set foot in the ring. But it was more than his ability to layeth the smacketh down in the ring hat made The Rock a Superstar. His quick wit, charisma, and ability to talk smack earned such raves that "The People's Champion" was asked to speak to the people over and over again. Among his many famous public appearances were a stint hosting "Saturday Night Live" in 2000 and a speech at the 2002 Republican National Convention. By 2001, The Rock became a multi-media superstar, having starred in the feature film, "The Mummy Returns," and its highly successful prequel, "The Scorpion King." His autobiography, "The Rock Says..." was a New York Times No. 1 bestseller. The Rock may have earned his biggest box office break to date with a starring role in "Walking Tall," an action drama based on a true story that is expected to be even more successful than his previous hit, "The Rundown." While many consider The Rock to be Hollywood's next great superstar, he still believes that World Wrestling Entertainment is his home and is ready to return to the ring when duty calls. When Mick Foley suffered injury and humiliation at the hands of Evolution, Rocky returned to RAW to reform the Rock 'n' Sock Connection and the two competed as a team at WrestleMania XX. While Evolution walked out as the winner, The Rock proved that he has not lost his touch in the ring and at the microphone and is as beloved as a WWE Superstar now more than ever! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Game Character Information ----------------------------------------------------- -The Rock is in the game as a Legend. He needs to be unlocked in order to be used. He is purchased for $20,000 in the ShopZone. Character Stats: Strength: 8 Submission: 9 Durability: 9 Technique: 9.5 Speed: 7 Charisma: 10 Overall: 94 As you can see, Rock is clearly one of the best superstars in the game. It's easy with Rock to work your opponent into yellow within the first couple minutes of the match. Most of his moves focus on the head/body, which makes it easy to put someone away with either his two finishers, the People's Elbow and the Rock Bottom, or even two of his trademark moves, his DDT or his Sharpshooter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
