#4 The Rock wanted to quit WWE because of financial woes

The Rock is one of the biggest names in WWE history and has become a prominent name in Hollywood as well. The Brahma Bull may have tasted a lot of success in his life, but his beginnings were filled with despair.

WWE Hall of Famer J.J. Dillon revealed while speaking to JBL and Gerry Brisco, that The Rock had asked him for help to leave the company at one point. The veteran said that during the early days of his career, The Rock did not have any money and wanted to quit WWE so he go could go someplace else.

''He had everything. He was multiracial. He had the size, he had athletic ability. He had everything. And I came up there and he said, ‘Can I talk to you privately?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘You have connections everywhere. I’m asking you to help me get out of here and find a place for me to go,'' said J.J. Dillon.

When Dillon prodded The Rock into telling him the problem, the latter showed him his wallet and said that he had just $12 with him. Upon hearing this, the WWE veteran gave him $200. From $12 in his pocket, The Rock now has a net worth of $400 Million.
