Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALLY... it's the wrestling biography every WWE fan and the millions... and millions of Rock fanatics around the world have been waiting for! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: The People's Champion charts the career of ten-time WWF/WWE/WCW Champion and movie megastar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in-depth for the very first time.The People's Champion is the story of Dwayne Johnson's rise from troubled child to wrestling superstar to one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, with all the highs, lows and controversies in between. Along with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vince McMahon and the concept of "Attitude", the emergence of The Rock was instrumental in turning the languishing World Wrestling Federation, on the brink of downsizing, into a billion dollar entity within two years.With The Rock at the forefront, the WWF routinely broke viewership, box office and ticket sales records. In 2000, The Rock became the most well-known mainstream professional wrestler in the world and in 2001 Dwayne entered the Guinness Book of Records as the highest paid debuting lead actor for his star-making turn in The Scorpion King.After several years of ever-decreasing in-ring appearances, Dwayne left wrestling behind in 2004 to fully focus on his burgeoning Hollywood career. Despite commanding eight figure sums for every starring role, the mid-2000s would see Dwayne's career start to falter, with lukewarm critical reviews at best for his creative output. Dwayne had been forcibly separated from everything that had made him and The Rock character an overnight success until finally he decided enough was enough and took back control of his destiny. In 2011, Dwayne would return to his roots, not only as a pro wrestler but as The Rock, and has not looked back since.Jam-packed with quotes from his friends, family, co-workers and the man himself, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: The People's Champion is the most comprehensive and exhaustive biography ever created on "The Most Electrifying Man in Sports and Entertainment".
