Rock is hilarious for memeing this into existence.
>Graduates college in 95
>Fails out of CFL a couple of months later
>Starts wrestling end of 95-early 96 through his fathers connections
>Father worked in San Fran, so Pat Patterson immediately takes interest in making sure he's not fucked and puts him in WWE's farm system
>Rock works the indies for literally 9-10 months before getting a huge debut in Madison Square Garden on PPV
>Pushed to the point he knabs a title shortly after that
I worked at a fucking Starbucks for two years after graduating College and it's nothing but a brief footnote into my actual career. The fuck is this nigga on?
Like, the typical guy who was the indies for like ten years making nothing but peanuts has a more inspirational story.
Granted, he took his advantage and ran with it and showed he was charismatic enough to be the biggest star to come from wrestling, but jesus christ, not everything has to be a "LOOK AT HOW HARD I WORKED!!"
