Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson officially celebrated the 25th anniversary of his WWE in-ring debut on Wednesday. The 10-time world champion first competed on Nov. 17, 1996 at that year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, teaming up with Jake Roberts, Marc Mero and The Stalker to beat Crush, Goldust, Jerry Lawler and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (later known as Triple H, one of Rock’s greatest rivals). Johnson retweeted a photo from that event, writing, “Wow 25yrs ago I wrestled my first match in @wwe in Madison Square Garden. Shaking my head right now. What a wild, unpredictable road I’ve been on. So many people to thank along the way. Especially the fans. Love U guys. Humbled by this journey. Wtf’s up with my awful haircut.”
