Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson may be one of the biggest names on the planet now, but it wasn’t always like that. Just over two decades ago, Johnson made his debut at the Survivor Series in Madison Square Garden. Not only was this the first time we saw him, but he ended up winning the whole thing!
Johnson shared a clip of a small montage of the moment and remembered his historic entrance into the business, saying,
“No one knew who the f–k I was or even more confusing what the fuck was I wearing 😂🙋🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ I cannot overstate this enough – THANK YOU to all the #wweuniverse and the “make it or break it” CITY OF NEW YORK – you opened your arms and embraced this punk kid who came to the ring dressed in fucked up blue tassels and a pineapple haircut with just as much love and passion as I gave you.”

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Throws Back To His WWF Entrance 25 Years Ago
In the clip, you see Johnson enter the ring with his “pineapple” haircut and begins to immediately throw people out of the ring and holds his own against some of the biggest names in the business. He thanked Vince McMahon for the opportunity and thanked the other guys in the ring for “letting him win”.
“And “FINALLY”…. (you know I had to get that in;) Finally, THANK YOU to Vince and “the boys”. Vince for having the vision and the boys for agreeing to buy into it. The ONLY WAY I WIN on this historic night 25 years ago to launch my career, is if these wrestlers LET ME WIN.”
Who would have known what Johnson would be in just a decade, and to now. He’s one of the biggest movie stars in the world, co-owner of the XFL, Teremana Tequila, and ZOA Energy, plus, he continues to stay relevant after all these years.
This clip shows the beginning of a legend, not just in the wrestling world, but in the world of entertainment.
