The Intercontinental Championship is one of the most prestigious titles in WWE’s history. Back in the day, the title was so important that it was second to only the World Championship title. Becoming a proven testing ground for many stars, legends over the years have carried it around their shoulders with pride. One of them is current-day champion, Gunther. But Gunther isn’t just any other star, he is the star to break the longest-reigning record of all time. While many speak about the title’s history, The Ring General is busy with the present instead. GUNTHER SNUBS LEGENDARY INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONS OF THE PAST Gunther has been known to be true to his heel persona and appear standoffish, especially to his opponents. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-i-refuse-gunther-takes-foreign-heel-status-to-another-level-by-disrespecting-americans/] In an exclusive interview with Gunther during a press conference for Superstar Spectacle, we spoke to the champion about reaching this legacy-defining achievement. Keeping with his persona, he only had a few words for us, straight to the mic. “I don’t live in the past. Everybody, they all had their runs, it’s my time now,” he said. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Gunther-2.jpg] With numerous legends like Dwayne Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/], Shawn Michaels, and The Ultimate Warrior having held the title, the title holds WWE’s biggest moments in history.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Dwayne Johnson &#8211; Net Worth 2024, Family, and Career Dwayne Johnson is one of the most popular and well-known wrestling superstars and actors in the world. After going through many hardships and struggles, Johnson was able to make it big. He started off his career as an ambitious football player, but then switched it to that of a pro wrestler, and now is a successful actor. What is the net worth of Dwayne Johnson? &#8216;The Great One&#8217; of WWE is currently one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. Apart from acting, Johnson is also heavily involved in various businesses and is a majority owner of many ventures. Dwayne Johnson&#8217;s net worth stands at $800 million as of 2023. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; NOVEMBER 03: Dwayne Johnson attends the World Premiere of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Red Notice&#8221; at L.A. LIVE on November 03, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) It includes all of his movie earnings and business earnings as well, including his 30% stake in Teremana tequila. Many even expect it to touch the $1 billion mark with the Teremana tequila valuation increasing. The former wrestling star earns a whopping $270 million per year. All about Dwayne Johnson &#8211; family, kids, wife, and affairs A family man, Johnson always holds dear the most important people in his life; be it his mother, his cousins, his wife, or his children. Dwayne Johnson loves spending time with his family and is fond of having a special time with them. His father, Rocky Johnson, was also a pro wrestler, while his mother, Ata Johnson, belonged to the famous Anoa&#8217;i wrestling family. Thus, The Rock&#8217;s heritage is linked with the respected wrestling family, and he shares his lineage with some of the popular Samoan wrestlers. Johnson is a father to three daughters. Simone Johnson, the eldest, was born to his first wife, Dany Garcia, while his other two daughters, Jasmine Johnson and Tiana Johnson, were born to his current wife, Lauren Hashian. Simone Johnson followed in her father&#8217;s footsteps and stepped into WWE. She is currently part of NXT Roster under the ring name &#8216;Ava Raine&#8217;. Credits: Imago Growing up, The Rock did not experience luxury and did not have the pleasure of owning a proper home. However, with his current status, he lives in a mansion in Beverly Park, Los Angeles. How did Dwayne Johnsonâ€™s early life look like? Dwayne Johnson spent his childhood in multiple places. Born in Hayward, he spent his life in New Zealand, Honolulu, Charlotte, Hamden, and Nashville. The Rock&#8217;s father was a pro wrestler and was an inspiration to him. While growing up, Johnson faced a lot of hardships and struggles. Quite often, he and his mother wereÂ thrown out of their houses for not paying the rent, or Johnson would also find himself in trouble with the law frequently. The former wrestler knows what struggle is, and having experienced every bit of it, he is blessed for the life he has right now. He graduated from high school, enrolled on a full scholarship at The University of Miami, and aspired to be a professional player there. But life had other plans for him. After not getting drafted for the NFL, Johnson flew out to Canada to play in the Canadian League. Unfortunately, two months later, he was dropped. People might wonder if Johnson has served in the army, but he has not.  NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; NOVEMBER 02: Dwane &#8220;the Rock&#8221; Johnson holds the belt for the Welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal of the United States and Nate Diaz of the United States during UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden on November 02, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images)  During this dark phase of his career, he traced back to his roots and joined the family legacy of pro wrestling. Soon, he was roped in by WWE, where he made his debut as Rocky Maivia, a character that failed to work well. What followed was a major heel turn, and &#8216;The Rock&#8217;, the name that set well with his identity, was born. There were years of entertainment, Championship wins, and massive pushes he received from Vince McMahon. At this point, WWE was heading into the Attitude Era, a more rebellious stage. Johnson rose to his peak during this era and made a name for himself. Apart from his wrestling skills, he was also known for his promo abilities and revolutionized the art of cutting promos. The Attitude Era took The Rock to prominence, and it attracted Hollywood as well; like bees to honey. Soon, they offered him multiple projects, and in 2001, The Rock left WWE to make a career in the movies. A look at the football career of Dwayne Johnson When it comes to the NFL, Johnson did not experience a happy phase. During the early stage of his football career, The Brahma Bull was rejected during the NFL drafts and had to move to Canada to play football. Now he is in an entirely different league of his own. While he does not own an NFL team yet, he is the owner of XFL. A direct competitor to the NFL, XFL has set up an R&amp;D partnership with the NFL, to expand the sport of football. All about the wrestling career of Dwayne Johnson A failed football career motivated The Rock to pursue pro wrestling. After his initial babyface gimmick failed, he turned heel. Johnson&#8217;s heel turn was a reviving moment in his career, and after that, he never had to look back. He reached new heights and tasted success with this new loud-mouthed, no-nonsense gimmick. During this transition phase of his career, Pat Patterson, a father-like figure to Johnson, suggested him the name, &#8216;The Rock&#8217;. It instantly clicked with him and has stayed with him forever since. WWE was going through a change during that point, and his gimmick, paired alongside another rising star, Stone Cold Steve Austin, took the company to new heights and also gave rise to a new rivalry. Soon, The Rock started focusing on acting and left WWE permanently. His busy schedule came in the way of his wrestling career. It is not known how much he earned during his prime in the company. During his stint in WWE from 2011-2013, Dwayne Johnson took home $5 million on an annual basis. However, he is no longer signed to the company but can make sporadic appearances at big events. Unveiling the Story of Dwayne Johnson&#8217;s Flourishing Acting Career Being one of the biggest movie stars in the world, Johnson has earned a major name for himself. Over the years, he has acted and produced some of the biggest and most popular films of all time. Although his films do not always earn critical appraisal, they do well commercially and take home the big bucks. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; NOVEMBER 03: Dwayne Johnson attends the World Premiere Of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Red Notice&#8221; at L.A. LIVE on November 03, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) He started his career as a lead actor with The Scorpion King, and since then has gone on to star in several other big films. He has also been a part of some of the biggest film franchises, such as Jumanji and Fast and Furious. Johnson is extremely successful, taking home around $100m from movies every year, and charging $20 million per movie as remuneration.

He owns Teremana Tequila, XFL, Seven Bucks Productions, Zoa Energy, Acorns, Athleticon, Project Rock, and Salt and Straw. The Rock&#8217;s Teremana Tequila is extremely successful and well-known. A bottle usually contains a volume of 750 ml and costs under $40. He is the majority shareholder in this tequila brand and owns around 30% of the brand. Apart from businesses, the kind man, Johnson is heavily involved in donations and charities. He is one of the most charitable figures in the world and has a foundation called Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation. It assists in the recovery of children who are hospitalized for different causes. In addition to that, it also works on education and childhood obesity prevention programs. The Rock is also a big part of the Make-A-Wish foundation. He has made efforts to prevent Parkinson&#8217;s Disease and AIDS. Johnson also supports AIDS &amp; HIV, At-Risk/Disadvantaged Youths, Cancer, Children, Creative Arts, Disaster Relief, Education, Grief Support, Health, Human Rights, Parkinson&#8217;s Disease, and Veteran/Service member-related organizations. In a nutshell, Johnson is a true role model coming such a long way in his eventful life. Dwayne Johnson memes Being a popular public figure, Johnson is exposed to the public, and it has often led to people creating and crafting different memes of him. Some of his most popular ones are him wearing the black turtleneck sweater and his eyebrow-raising. The Rock&#8217;s hilarious turtleneck sweater photo dates back to 1994 when he was just a young man trying to make it big, while his signature eyebrow-raise meme is from a 2019 video of his. Back in 2019, he took to his Instagram and addressed a video to the rapper, DaBaby, where he performed that look. Many people also wonder if Johnson has aÂ prosthetic forehead or not. A joke popularized by Kevin Hart, Johnson having a prosthetic forehead is not true. In 2023, the Red Notice star again invited a lot of memes following his confession of many political parties wanting him to run in the election for President. Dwayne Johnsonâ€™s workout and diet Dwayne Johnson has one of the most impressive physiques in the entire industry, and achieving a physique like that takes a lot of dedication. Johnson dedicates 3 to 4 hours every day to his physique and trains like a beast. He follows an extremely strict workout routine and is hard on himself to push past his limits. Johnson is famous for adhering to a 6-day workout split and divides his workout routine into different days, dedicating each day to an isolated muscle group, and training them. The two common training methods included in his workout regime are Pyramid Schemes and Giant Sets. The actor loves to train at his home gym &#8216;The Iron Paradise&#8217;. He has two such gyms, one at his home in Miami and the other at his Virginia Farm.
