3. The Rock
Much like CM Punk is this generation’s version of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock may very well be a modern day version of Hollywood Hulk Hogan. In fact, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was so good at playing the Hollywood ham that he went on to have a rather successful acting career. It’s actually been so successful that it’s basically replaced his wrestling career all together.
Rock’s gimmick was centered on stardom. He was born for the limelight, and everybody knew it. He was the greatest microphone talker we’ve ever seen, and the fans absolutely adored him. He played the role of a celebrity to a tee, and nobody could challenge him in terms of the pull he could draw to an arena. Every single time he performed it seemed like it was golden, and his charisma has charmed WWE fans and movie goers for years on end.
