Long before becoming a huge movie star and having the world in the palm of his hand, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was known as "Flex Kavana" and was just a Pro Wrestler trying to make his mark.

The attitude was there, the swagger, and the sunglasses were on indoors. All great WWE Stars get their start somewhere. The Rock hit TV for the first time down in Memphis,TN. Jerry "The King" Lawler was and still is the Pro Wrestling King of Memphis. Check out this old footage of Dwayne The Rock Johnson's first TV appearance on Jerry Lawlers weekly Pro Wrestling show.

Do you smell what Flex Kavana is cooking? See, just doesn't work.
