3 Children of WWE Superstars who quit wrestling and 2 who became megastars

#2 The Rock (became a megastar)

The Rock

Rocky Johnson was a popular mid-card act in WWE back in the day. His son made his way to WWE in the mid-90s and was soon berated by the WWE Universe for being incredibly bland. His persona was tweaked a bit and he turned into an on-screen villain, now calling himself The Rock. His obnoxious, self-centered personality soon became a hit with the fans at the time and helped him cement himself as one of the most popular acts in WWE history.

The Rock's rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin is regarded by many fans as the greatest feud of all time. The duo squared off at WrestleMania on three separate occasions. The Rock's mic skills helped him bag some roles in Hollywood, and he never looked back. Today, he is one of the biggest celebrities in the world, has an Instagram following of almost 200 million fans, and is one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. The Rock has, without a doubt, surpassed his father in terms of achievements and popularity.
