20 WWE superstars who held other jobs before stardom (With Pictures)

11. The Rock – Football Player

It may seem difficult to imagine, considering all that has happened over the past two decades, that there was ever a time when The Rock was not a success at something he attempted. At a time when the phrase “The most electrifying man in sports and entertainment” was likely not a thought in his head, Dwayne Johnson wanted to be a pro football player. It was the CFL and not the NFL that came calling following his years in college, but he never really caught on with a time. Has there ever been a person in history to be happier about not getting a football contract than The Rock? Oh, what could have been.
