* A real-life example that could also qualify for a CMOF, Dwayne was shooting scenes in London as FBI Agent Luke Hobbs for ''The Fast and the Furious 6'', arresting suspects as the cameras were rolling when he saw a gang of burglars attempting to break into some padlocked crew vans carrying expense film equipment. Flashing his FBI badge and wearing a bulletproof vest and combat trousers, Dwayne rushed toward and yelled at the would-be thieves, who saw Johnson coming and hightailed it off-set empty-handed. Sources said that Dwayne looked like a legitimate action star during the whole thing. Here's to hoping it makes the outtakes when the movie goes to DVD.

* His ladder match with TripleH at SummerSlam 1998 for the Intercontinental Title. At WrestleMania XIV, Rock was wrestling in the midcard for the Intercontinental belt, and Triple H was in Shawn Michaels's corner during the main event. This 26 minute match helped change the way ladder matches were fought and catapulted both men to the main event. Rock got his chance at SurvivorSeries, and Triple H's time came at WrestleMania XV. This also shows just how much the IC title was worth in those days.
