5 greatest WWE third-generation Superstars of all time

#1: The Rock

The Rock has succeeded as both a WWE Superstar and Hollywood actor and returned to win the title in 2013.

The Rock. The Brahma Bull. The Great One. Whatever you call him, it's clear that Dwayne Johnson is the greatest third-generation Superstar of all time. Making his debut at the 1996 Survivor Series as Rocky Maivia, the future WWE Champion would represent those who came before him, taking his name from father Rocky Johnson and grandfather 'High Chief' Peter Maivia.

Later shortening it to The Rock, the Samoan Superstar would win his first World title two years after his debut and would become a true icon of the Attitude Era. Feuding with the likes of Triple H, Mankind and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, The Rock would have a truly Hall of Fame-worthy career inside the ring and has propelled into even greater Superstardom these days as a leading man in Hollywood.
