A rare signed ticket to The Rock's debut professional wrestling match has sold for $10,980.
On November 17, 1996, future global megastar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made his official, regular-season WWF in-ring television debut under the name Rocky Maivia.
The monumental moment took place at the 10th annual Survivor Series pay-per-view event inside a sold-out Madison Square Garden.
The then-24-year-old would go on to become a household name in the wrestling scene and later in Hollywood.
The WWF rebranded to WWE in 2002.
