With all due respect to the likes of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Helen "The Crusher" Mirren, no professional wrestler has gained greater mainstream attention than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. With a perfect combination of athleticism and charisma, The Rock became the man in the WWE before embarking on a successful movie career.

As The Rock gets set to headline this year's WrestleMania against John Cena, a three-disc DVD set chronicling his rise to the top of the sports entertainment ranks has been produced. The Epic Journey of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, which hits the home video market on February 21, is a thorough and engrossing look at one of the most captivating performers the squared circle has ever been graced by.

Since this is not the first time the WWE has released a Rock DVD, I figured they would gloss over the majority of his wrestling career and focus mainly on his recent return and film career. Luckily, this was not the case.

The disc features a two-hour documentary that goes all the way back to Rock's childhood, growing up in the wrestling business that employed both his father and grandfather. From there, we hear about The Rock's football days as a member of the Miami Hurricanes, and for a short time, the CFL's Calgary Stampeders.

Once his gridiron days were over, Rock jumped into the wrestling business, and this section is one of the most interesting portions of the documentary. We see footage of The Rock learning the ropes before his much-trumpeted debut. Unfortunately for The Rock, the bland, clean-cut babyface he portrayed in his early days was vehemently rejected by the fans.

It all turned out for the best, as he would grow into one of the most beloved superstars of all time once he dropped the goody two-shoes character.

That isn't the only time The Rock would be rejected by the fans, however. Another very interesting section of the documentary focuses on the time period of 2002/03, when The Rock's film career was beginning to take off. A large section of the WWE audience branded him as a sell-out and booed him during his infrequent appearances. The Rock would turn heel and ramp up the cockiness of the character, and eventually won the fans over because he was just so damned entertaining, especially during this time frame.

The documentary features plenty of comments from The Rock, as well as his main contemporaries such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho and even the chairmain of the WWE, Vince McMahon. The Rock's ex-wife Dany and his former Miami Hurricanes teammate Warren Sapp also offer their insights.

In addition to the documentary, you get some great Rock promos and moments, my favourite among them being the "Rock Concert" from April of 2003, with Rock performing a few humorous musical numbers and antagonizing his future opponent Bill Goldberg.

Also included are 11 matches, including some classics like his Royal Rumble '99 bout with Mankind, his Backlash '99 match with Austin, and his SummerSlam 2002 battle with Brock Lesnar. There are also a few rarer matches included, such as a The Rock's debut at the 1996 Survivor Series, and his only one-on-one match with Ric Flair from a 2002 episode of Monday Night Raw.

So if this sounds like a DVD you might be interested in checking out, then we've got good news for you. Courtesy of eOne, the Fanshawe Student Union has three copies of this DVD set to give away.
