The Rock
The Rock is currently the biggest star in pro-wrestling, perhaps the biggest star ever in pro-wrestling, and stars like that don’t usually fade quickly. 5 years from now, the Rock should still be laying the smackdown on candy asses all over the WWE.
While he looks to be headed for a successful career in Hollywood, the Rock has a deep passion for the wrestling business and it seems unlikely that he will ever totally leave it. Whether he only performers a few times a year, or ends up returning full-time to the squared circle, the Rock is not in danger of losing his spot on top. He has amazing natural abilities, especially on the mic, that electrify the crowd. He also has the always important ability to make his opponents look better than they are.
And as his mainstream fame grows, he will become only more important and more valuable to WWE. The Rock is also still very young, and will be able to maintain his fever pitch promo and wrestling style that has made him so popular. His creativity and ability to adapt to the times ensures that, if he wants to, he will remain a top star. The Rock also has yet to develop a monster ego, the type that has ruined careers in the past. He has shown that he is willing to put others over and do what is best for the promotion as a whole, and that will keep him in good standing with management.
The Rock is the type of wrestler that only comes along once every few decades, and you better believe that WWE knows this and will juice him for every penny he is worth. And judging by his talents, abilities, and youth, the Rock still has a lot left to give to the wrestling world, 5 years from now and beyond.
