In the present day, WWE's The Rock is possibly more widely known as Hollywood star Dwyane Johnson. That 70's Show was one of the biggest sitcoms in the later 1990s and early 2000s. It chronicled the lives of a group of teenagers in small-town America with a 1970's backdrop.

In the series, the main character Eric was a big wrestling fan and in the season one episode "That Wrestling Show", he brings his father along to watch a live wrestling show with his friends.

In the episode, the star even hinted at things to come by telling the characters "I have a son, and one day, he's going to become the most electrifying man in sports entertainment."

The Rock was not the only WWE Superstar to feature on That 70s Show. Fans of the series were also treated to cameos from Matt and Jeff Hardy, Ken Shamrock and WWE Hall of Famer Ernie Ladd in the very same episode.
