Episode 227 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re finishing our series of episodes on professional wrestlers who enjoyed success in other amateur & professional sports.
In this episode we’re discussing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Before he reached superstardom as a professional wrestler, Johnson was a top high school football recruit as a Defensive Lineman.
Unfortunately, Johnson never realized his potential as he played sparingly at the University of Miami (FL) during the early 1990s.
With his football dreams dashed, Johnson entered the family business & eventually became one of the biggest stars of the “Attitude Era” in the WWF/WWE during the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Due to his charismatic nature, “The Rock” left his championship career behind to pursue acting & has been one of Hollywood’s most marketable stars of the last two decades!
