Best Answer

His father wrestled as Rocky Johnson and his grandfather wrestled as Peter Maivia(RIP). Against Dwaynes wishes his mother and Vince McMahon decided to call him Rocky Maivia, a combination of both names. After his popularity dwindled he took advantage of a hamstring injury by repackaging himself as a loudmouth heel (Jim Ross' idea). And that's how The Rock was born.
