#5 The Rock
When it comes to wrestlers who have transcended the wrestling business, no one really compares to The Rock. To be fair, Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin quite arguably have personal brands that are more immediately linked to wrestling than Dwayne Johnson does, since his acting career has taken off. Nonetheless, he’s a genuine A-list celebrity who launched his national profile with WWE.
The Rock started wrestling well after Sting, and retired from full time wrestling long before him, leaving a deceptively small window of time when this match ever could have happened—basically, just the year or so after WWE bought WCW. Sting ran out his WCW contract and then signed with TNA, missing the opportunity for what could have been a special encounter between two of the most popular wrestlers who ever lived. Sting spent most of his career as a face, and was generally agreed to be best in that role. Fortunately, Rock could play the heel or face comparably well, and as such could have been a suitable villain to oppose The Stinger.
