The Rock on why he chose wrestling over acting, career goals and more
This Sunday’s episode of “Oprah’s Master Class” will air at 8 pm EST on the Oprah Network and guess what! ‘The Brahma Bull’, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be the guest for the show this week.
It has been noted earlier that Rock will be a part of the show on Sunday and he will be sharing one of his emotional stories about his mother. There is not just this but many other things are expected to be answered by the ‘Great One’.
The Rock would speak on a wide spectrum of topics ranging from his decision to quit wrestling to pursuing acting as a full-time profession. Rock has spoken about some of these earlier, but we expect something new from him this time as well.
Rock would also speak about some of his career objectives and goals. In the video above, he says that he was booed by 20,000 people on his first WrestleMania appearance.
In yet another clip, The Rock said that he was in a dilemma in the beginning as he was good at only wrestling and nothing more, but he was able to fulfil his goals as time went on. Longevity is something he wanted the most he added.
Have a look at some of the things Rock had to say-
“If I made the transition into acting, I wanted to be great. I knew going in, the cards are stacked against me,” he said. “There’s a shelf life to a career if I just wanted to get by on popularity. I didn’t want to be in that position. I wanted longevity.”
The Rock made his debut in 1996 and has been part of numerous story lines involving some of the all-time great wrestlers. He has been a vital part of the success of the company in the years (1998-2005).
He still appears every now and then on WWE TV and on any given day, the WWE Universe is always ready to welcome this legend. Have a look at some of the best moments from Rock’s career-
