The Rock's 10 Biggest Rivalries in His Wrestling Career, Part-1

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been called a number of things.

The People’s Champion, The Great One, and even sellout has been used to describe The Rock and his actions of the past.

Most modern fans have little prior knowledge of this rivalry. The Rock and Ken Shamrock both debuted in the WWF during the Attitude Era.

The Rock debuted as the “blue chipper” while Shamrock rose to fame after refereeing the classic submissions match between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The two began a feud over the Intercontinental Champion in 1998. Rock retained in each encounter with disqualification victories.

Given that Shamrock was labeled the “World’s Most Dangerous Man,” a disqualification victory wasn’t off the radar for Shamrock.

Shamrock finally defeated Rock in the 1998 King of the Ring finals.
