Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor and professional wrestler who is signed to WWE, appearing on the Raw brand. He is often credited as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Johnson was a college football player. In 1991, he was part of the University of Miami's national championship team. He later played for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League, and was cut two months into the 1995 season. This led to his decision to become a professional wrestler like his grandfather, Peter Maivia, and his father, Rocky Johnson. He gained mainstream fame as a wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1996 to 2004, and was the first third-generation superstar in the company's history. Johnson was quickly given a push as a heroic character in the WWF, originally billed as "Rocky Maivia", and then as "The Rock". He would subsequently turn into a villain as a member of the Nation of Domination in 1997. Two years after he joined the WWF, Johnson won the WWF Championship, and became one of the most popular wrestlers within the company's history for his engaging interviews and promos. Johnson is regarded by many as one of the greatest talkers in professional wrestling history, Rock was voted third by the fans for his microphone ability behind Roddy Piper and Stone Cold Steve Austin who were second and first respectively.

Dwayne Johnson: The rivalry that I had with Mick Foley, uh, was very special. He had a very special magic to him, and his... desire to entertain an audience through... great impact with his body, uh... was mind-boggling, and staggering. It makes me have a great admiration and appreciation for a guy like that, when you think about all the things that he's done.
Dwayne Johnson: [about his "I Quit" match with Mankind] The things that Mick would... allow me to do to him was incredible. Incredible. I mean, we raised the bar. And he raised the bar, in terms of, uh... taking punishment and pain.

Plot: What is the undercurrent? That's the underlying question behind each of the story lines in this film. The undercurrent is what people really think but will not openly admit. The expression was invented by Adam Radly for the purpose of this film. There is an undercurrent in all parts of our lives. It's particularly evident when it comes to money, fame, religion and politics. Undercurrent explores these themes and other examples of the Undercurrent by following the stories of several people that live in very different worlds. Bernie Grossman is running for office for the first time and hires a gun political adviser, Eric Holt to help him with the campaign. Bernie thinks that Eric will help him to win by developing better policies but is surprised when Eric tells him to forget about policies and just focus on connecting with the voters by "tapping into the Undercurrent". The best example of the undercurrent is 'Mitt Romney' (qv)'s reference to the 47% behind closed doors. Dan Wells runs a small nonprofit that helps coffee farmers in Haiti. After a good deal goes bad he needs to raise $700,000 in 30 days to avoid some serious consequences. Some people decide to help him but are they helping because they want to help poor Haitians or are they just keeping up appearances and pursing different agendas? Jeff Williams is a wealthy tech entrepreneur. His marriage falls apart after the murder of his daughter and his wife wants 50% of all assets in the divorce. Does she really deserve it or is it just about the money? Sydney Sheraton just wants to be famous and doesn't care how it happens. There was a time when becoming famous resulted from doing something special. But now we live in a new world where people become famous without doing something special. Do we all still secretly want to be famous?
