Dwayne Johnson Fired His Whole Team for Asking Him to Lose … – FandomWire
Despite being one of the most electrifying men in sports entertainment, Dwayne Johnsons shift from pro wrestling to Hollywood wasnt easy. Following his initial years in the realm of Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson was reportedly asked to drop his ring name, The Rock. He was even asked to leave his past as a WWF (now WWE) superstar behind and has to cut his ties with the world of pro wrestling.
According to The Peoples Champion, Hollywood tried to mold him like the rest of the A-listers in the Industry and even asked him to stop hitting the gym and lose weight. However, the Brahma Bull was having none of it.

And the Black Adam star wouldnt be disappointed as his career would soon start to bloom and the actor would then star in several big IPs, including Jumanji, The Jungle Book, etc. One publication explained Johnsons meeting with the agency by stating,
Johnson spoke to WMEs Ari Emanuel, who flew to Johnsons Florida home the next day and invited him and Garcia to a meeting in L.A. with about 150 WME staff, including the man who would become Johnsons key rep, Brad Slater. Johnson was stunned by their enthusiasm and hunger, a hunger he shared,
