Bio[]
The Rock's ambiguous biracial features allow him to shift gimmicks at will without sacrificing his universal sex appeal. He first entered the then-WWF as "Rocky Maivia", a Legacy Character to both the Maivia family and his father, a perpetually-smiling face who drove the audience insane with how much he was pushed. He eventually fixed this X-Pac Heat by turning heel and restyling himself as a Jerk Jock-type villain; this evolution into "The Rock" freed him creatively and allowed him to show off his incredible talents on the microphone.
Within just a few years, using his natural charisma and skills as a wrestler, The Rock quickly ascended the ranks of the WWF and was soon competing with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the top spot in the company, becoming his Arch-Enemy and rival. He would also feud with Triple H, and the three-way feuds with Austin and Triple H would be a common running theme.
