It was Edge that was the big star, and Christian was his childhood friend who, for many years, enjoyed the same success as Edge. Together, Edge and Christian won nine tag team championships. However, when Edge moved on to his main event career, Christian didn't fall that much behind.
He was a top mid-card champion, holding the IC title four times, among others. Christian finally reached the top with four world title reigns, two in ECE and twice with the world title, to finish with 20 total championship wins.
When The Miz showed up, it took him a long time to get any respect. People just saw him as a former reality TV show star Real World , and no one saw him as a real wrestler. Over time, Miz proved everyone wrong. The Miz has done it all. He has won eight tag team titles with five different partners. He won the IC title eight times and the US title twice. He also reached the top with a world title win. Most fans know his biggest success as one-third of New Day, where the team won 11 tag team titles.
The Hardy Boyz started as a small undersized, but very athletic tag team. He and his brother won nine tag team titles. Hardy went on to win 10 mid-card titles, and then he reached the top of the mountain.
Hardy won the world title twice, and WWE title once over his illustrious career for 23 championship wins. With Triple H as a WWE executive and the husband of the boss's daughter, one might think that he would be high on this list. However, there are four wrestlers with more WWE championship wins over their career than he achieved. Of his 24 championship wins, he sits in third place with 14 world title victories. Add in three tag titles, five Intercontinental titles, and two European titles, and he remains one of the best in WWE history.
Dwayne Johnson is popularly known by his ring name The Rock. He started his career as the first third-generation wrestler and rose to prominence after developing a charismatic persona of a boastful trash-talking wrestler. The Rock left the WWE to pursue an acting career and went on a seven-year hiatus before returning in as a part-time performer until , before wholly retiring in Considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers and biggest draws of all-time, The Rock headlined the most-bought professional wrestling pay-per-view event ever, WrestleMania XXVIII.
Dwayne Johnson has won several championships, being a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a five-time tag team champion, and a ten-time world champion. Here are a few pictures and videos of Dwayne Johnson with the wrestling belts. A post shared by therock therock on Nov 3, at am PST. The Rock was posed a question about how he would conduct affairs as the President of the United States.
Shut Your Mouth. In essence, it was a reversal of his Rocky Maivia character, where he was cheered instead of being booed as he was "supposed to be". The Rock also became famous for referring to himself in the third person, starting many sentences with "The Rock says The Rock has come back to.. The Rock once again captured the WWF Title in a bloody "I Quit" match at the Royal Rumble that saw The Rock hit Mankind in the head with a chair ten or eleven times as opposed to the agreed upon three times, knocking him unconscious and using a tape recording of Mankind saying "I quit" to trick the referee.
This latest reign did not last long, however. In a match that counter-programmed the Super Bowl halftime show on January 31, , Mankind pinned The Rock using a forklift in a Empty Arena Match which saw the competitors use everything from bags of popcorn to fruit to punish each other. WWF fans began to cheer The Rock despite being a bad guy, due to his comedic interviews and segments which mocked wrestlers and announcers.
Johnson eventually made his second face turn after being kicked out of the Corporation by Shane McMahon for failing to win back the WWF title from Steve Austin and established a feud with the, then heel, The Undertaker and the Corporate Ministry , and would sometimes find himself fighting alongside Steve Austin. His feud with the Undertaker ended with a defeat at the King of the Ring.
The Rock, now a face, feuded with Mr. In the fall, the Rock found himself in several WWF Championship opportunities, both in singles and tag. Aside from the championships, the team was regarded as one of the most entertaining teams in recent memory, where Mankind would imitate The Rock, while The Rock would mostly ignore Mankind. The team was also involved in a segment which occurred on RAW called "This Is Your Life" , in which Mankind brought out people from The Rock's past, such as his high school girlfriend and gym teacher.
The segment is to this day the single highest rated segment in terms of viewership in RAW history. As a singles competitor, The Rock participated in a six-pack challenge match at Unforgiven.
In a scripted move, the Big Show was going to seemingly dump the Rock over the top rope in a running powerslam-like position, and when they got to the apron, the Rock reversed it on the Big Show, sending the Big Show to the outside floor and then coming back up with the rest of his body.
The Big Show attempted to prove to the audience and to others, like Triple H , that the Rock's feet, not his, touched the mat first. He did manage to prove it, by providing video footage showing that he was the rightful winner. The decision that The Rock had won the Rumble match could not be reversed, so a number one contendership match at No Way Out was held, which saw the Big Show come out on top after Shane McMahon interfered, knocking The Rock in the head with a steel chair as he attempted to finish off his opponent with the Rock Bottom.
During this time, he feuded with Rikishi after he made accusations that The Rock called him to run over Steve Austin in November and defeated him at Survivor Series. It is also notable that The Rock was the only man not to climb to the top of the cell in this match.

After losing to Austin in a rematch on the following night's RAW , he went on hiatus to film the movie " The Scorpion King " after a kayfabe suspension from Mr. This match, one of the most memorable matches of all time pitting "Icon vs. Icon", saw the Toronto fans audibly cheer for Hogan, who was the heel after every move including heelish moves like "the back rake of doom".
The fans also clearly booed The Rock, the supposed face in the match, despite the WWF's best efforts to make Hogan a despicable character before the match. This was his last title reign, it lasted for a month. The Rock's last heel turn began on SmackDown!
It is widely speculated that this heel turn was due to The Rock's growing Hollywood stardom, giving the appearance of having " sold out " his wrestling roots. He also had a comical gimmick, where he played the guitar and sang songs mocking the host city for the event, which culminated in a " Rock concert " which took place during the main event of the March 24, edition of RAW , where The Rock mocked host city Sacramento because of the Sacramento Kings' inability to beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
After putting down the city of Sacramento and singing about how he intended to leave as soon as possible, he concluded the song with, "I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May! The Rock then had a feud with former WCW star Bill Goldberg , losing at Backlash in this match, both superstars received a mixed reaction from the fans.
After The Rock declared Christian his favorite wrestler, Christian began calling himself the New People's champion and labeling his fans as "his peeps". The Rock made occasional wrestling appearances up to 's WrestleMania XX , with the storyline revolving around Mick Foley bringing him in to help in his war with Evolution and Randy Orton.
This was his last appearance in a wrestling role. He ended the segment by giving Jonathan Coachman a rock-bottom and People's Elbow. In several interviews, Dwayne Johnson had reported that he is no longer under contract with WWE and that his contract had expired in Johnson himself reported that the reason he was able to continue using the name "The Rock" was part of a dual ownership between him and WWE. The Rock claimed to love wrestling, having has been born into the business, a claim Cena argued.
After appearing in numerous backstage segments, The Rock came to ringside to restart the main event between Cena and The Miz as a No Disqualification match, after it had ended in a draw. He then hit The Miz with the People's Elbow. The Rock accepted the challenge. The Rock appeared live on Raw in his hometown of Miami on May 2, to celebrate his 39th birthday.
