#1. WWE legend The Rock
The Rock is arguably the greatest WWE Superstar in history. However, professional wrestling was not the career he initially wanted to pursue.
Before becoming an in-ring performer, the former WWE Champion studied criminology and physiology at the University of Miami to prepare himself to become a CIA agent, as he revealed in an Instagram post a few years ago. Ultimately, the former WWE Champion later decided to ditch his dream.
"My criminal justice professor and advisor (Dr. Paul Cromwell) convinced me that the best operative I could become for the agency is one that also had a law degree. I thought that’s a great idea until I realized no respectable law school would ever let me in with my pile of steaming s**t grades. End of story," he explained in his Instagram post.
The Rock joined WWE in 1996 and spent nearly eight years as a regular competitor. During that time, he won many titles, including 10 World Championships. The 49-year-old left the company in 2004 to pursue an acting career in Hollywood.
Over the past few years, The Rock has made several sporadic WWE appearances. He has also competed in a few matches, his last bout coming at WrestleMania 32, in which he defeated Erick Rowan.
The Brahma Bull is currently a Hollywood mega-star and one of the highest-paid actors in the world.
