In my quest to meet The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, I have purchased the book: “The Rock Says”. This is an informative book that I am reading that gives details of The Rock’s life, from early childhood through his wrestling days. I will do a full review of the book on my website once I finish reading it.
Beyond that, one of the things I need to do to meet The Rock is to compile a list of all the main achievements he has done. I am doing this so that I can know exactly what his successes are. With that, here are The Rock’s main achievements, in wrestling and in movies. Some of the information is taken from:

Main Movies
(2001) ’The Mummy Returns’ – The Rock plays Mathayus, the Scorpion King
(2002) ‘The Scorpion King’ – The Rock plays Mathayus, the Scorpion King
(2003) ‘The Rundown’ – The Rock plays Beck
(2004) ‘Walking Tall’ - The Rock plays Chris Vaughn
(2005) ‘Be Cool’ – The Rock plays Elliot Wilhelm
(2005) ‘Doom’ – The Rock plays Sarge. This is a very bloody movie :)

(2007) ‘The Game Plan’ – The Rock plays Joe Kingman
(2008) ‘Get Smart’ – The Rock plays Agent 23
One interesting thing to note is that the salary that is documented for all his movies is around $32,000,000. That’s a good chunk of change. And that’s just the documented salaries for his movies.
Wrestling
The Rock was a seven time WWE champion. Whether or not you believe wrestling is real or fake is irrelevant to the impact The Rock had on the WWE. His charisma, flare, and poise made him a favorite of fans. I have no doubt that The Rock was one of the keys that made the WWE # 1 in wrestling entertainment today.
The Rock also has plenty of merchandise that gets sold on his behalf, including shirts, hats, action figures, and other memorabilia.
Final Thoughts
It is clear that The Rock’s bread and butter lies within movies, wrestling, and merchandise. Nowadays, The Rock is focused solely on movies and is doing a great job. When I talk with The Rock, it is clear that a big part of the conversation will be about his wrestling days and the movies he has been in. Beyond that, I’m very interested to know details about his growing up, particularly in middle school, high school, and college. Now that I have a better handle on The Rock’s main accomplishments, I can move on to other areas that need figuring out.
