For me the peak years was Bret Hart, the Rock, Stone Cold and
Sean Michaels dominated the WWF.
I really didn't understand why WCW was getting higher ratings,
and eventually that dichotomy sorted itself out.

along. I never saw him wrestle. I did see Austin 3:16 once
though...lol

The Rock was phenomenal. I spit out all the beer I had in my
mouth the first time he said "it doesn't matter what your name
is".
It pained me to see how underutilized his talents were outside
of the WWF. Hollywood didn't know what kind of talent they had.

Huh? The Rock is HUGE in Hollywood and beyond. He has sex
appeal for the ladies, he's really smart and compassionate, he
identifies w the rich and the poor. Basically he's one
charismatic mofo. There are those in political circles who want
him to run for office. He's been enshrined in wax in Paris.
He's still doing movies and voice overs in Hollywood as well.
Once you do Disney and the DC/Marvel movies, you're in there.
Believe me, he's good and most of Hollywood loves that guy.
But back to wrestling....I seen "the Show" one night at PHL
International Airport baggage claim. I didn't know who he was
at the time, but my eyes were like saucers when I seen this
HUMONGOUS male. I kid you not, I couldn't believe how large
this man was. Not just in height, but weight, girth, hands,
feet, shoulders, chest, everything inch of that mans body was
abnormally huge. The few kids that were in the area recognized
him and was jumping up and down, so I snapped a pic. When I got
home I showed it to my brother who watches wrestling like
clockwork, and he told me who he was. I can literally imagine
what Andre the Giant looked like now.
SN: in the same baggage claim area....Billy Owens. I instantly
recognized him waiting on his luggage like the rest of us. No
fans, nobody knew who he was. NBA bust but made a nice bag
while he was there.

Dwayne did the cocky bad boy thing better than even Stone Cold.
And like Stone Cold fans couldn't help but love him.
He got his box office money, but I feel like he was only half as
entertaining as he could have been.

Clooney's biggest pay day (at that point) was his role in
Batman.
For years after that he openly admitted to feeling ashamed about
taking that role, and took low paying roles in other movies to
recover his credibility.
It's not all about money, though I can't say that money isn't
great.
