Twenty-two years ago today, The Rock (then Rocky Maivia) made his WWE debut at the 1996 Survivor Series pay-per-view in Madison Square Garden. Since then, the Great One has lived a career that only a few get to live and has tasted the success the likes of which you don’t get to see every day.
The Rock took to his Twitter handle to fondly remember his WWE debut and revealed some lesser known insider details about his first match. The Rock revealed that before he went out to the ring that night in ’96, he signed his first contract with the WWE wherein he’d be paid 150,000 USD per year.
