History YMMV / DwayneJohnson

** Before that, it was ''Doom.''
** The Hurricane brought up TheScorpionKing in a backstage segment and TheRock acted accordingly.

** Even better, Rock will compete in a match at Wrestlemania 28 against....John Cena!
*** '''AND WON!'''

* AscendedMeme: When the Rock returned to the WWE, he called JohnCena a "great big bowl of Fruity Pebbles". Not long after, General Mills made a marketing deal with John Cena for...you guessed it, Fruity Pebbles.

* VillainDecay: During his "Corporate Champion" run, The Rock was probably at his most vicious, as he had brutal brawls with [[MickFoley Mankind]] and even brutally beat him with a chair at the 1999 Royal Rumble, and at one point threw StoneColdSteveAustin off a bridge([[IGotBetter he got better of course]]). During his Hollywood heel run, however, he was a far more comedic and cowardly heel and he was the [[LargeHam hammiest]] he had ever been in his career, which says a lot, which lead to him turning face again after only a couple of months]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as the Rock had been the company's biggest face for years at that point, and the turn was only in response to fans turning on him over him constantly leaving to film movies(despite the internet claiming that it was because fans were tired of him being a face, this was clearly not the case as only got booed on 2-3 occasions prior to his turn, and once was because he was facing HulkHogan, and they went back to cheering Rock after the match was over). Rock still managed to get victories over HulkHogan and StoneColdSteveAustin during his hollywood run though.

* FandomRivalry: With John Cena's fans at present. WWE's trying to play this up for all it's worth.

* Irony: His most recent look (BaldOfAwesome with a [[BadassBeard Badass Goatee]]) actually favors StoneColdSteveAustin somewhat.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: No, [[StephanieMcMahon Stephanie]], your [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKHDowhKofU fight]] with {{Lita}} wasn't main event on RAW. The Rock as guest referee was!

* TheWesley: Johnson started out as this. [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Things got better.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment / WhatHappenedToTheMouse: On the night The Rock was revealed as the host of Wrestlemania 27, the last thing we saw before we went to the commercial break preceding the Rock's appearance was a limo pulling up out back, its door opening, and the camera panning low so that all we could see coming out of the limo is what appears to be the feet of a woman wearing high heels, assumed by the commentators to be the host. Of course it wasn't the host. And she was never seen again. Err, OK...
