5 WWE Superstars you didn't know were once broke

4. The Rock

The Rock only had $7 to his name in 1995

You wouldn’t have expected him on the list and why would you? He’s born into one of the most revered wrestling families ever. But when The Rock finally decided to make a career out of wrestling in 1995, he just had 7 dollars to his name.

Just $7 in his pocket. His football dreams crashed and he tried to make it in the same business as his father and grandfather. Well, he may have been broke once but he isn’t now. Not at all. His initial stint in the company was painfully forgettable and then he repackaged himself as The Rock and trailblazed the most successful era in the WWE.
