I hate to break it to you (or maybe you're excited!) but he already wrote one ~15 years ago. It's called "The Rock Says" and is actually a decent read!
When I was a kid I read his autobiography (it was a thing a lot of the wrestlers were doing then) and he had talked about how he didn't want to do it for a while- he tried getting drafted into the NFL from college and eventually just played in the Canadian Football League before finally going to wrestling, I believe. He mentioned being very poor earlier on in life, if I correctly recall.
In fourth grade I got written up in english class. Our topic was to read a biography of person of our choice. Obviously, as any fourth grader of the nineties would, I wrote a report over "The Rock Says". I read the entire book and proceeded to write a detailed essay over the history of this great man!
Well the book had about 2 minor curse words in it. I'm convinced the teacher had it in for me as she must have read the ENTIRE book to figure that out. I was written up for god knows what, all I knew was that I was in trouble. As it was one of the only assignments I actually put effort into the entire school year, I was utterly confused. My father wasn't one to put up with my bullshit OR my teachers, so he ripped her and the principle a new asshole.
I really enjoyed The Rock Says.... Most of it is pretty common knowledge now but at the time it wasn't. You get a great amount of detail how he came home with only $7 in his pocket story, his father training him, etc.

I've got a question for you
The Rock Says...
When I was a kid I read his autobiography (it was a thing a lot of the wrestlers were doing then) and he had talked about how he didn't want to do it for a while- he tried getting drafted into the NFL from college and eventually just played in the Canadian Football League before finally going to wrestling, I believe. He mentioned being very poor earlier on in life, if I correctly recall.
Here's the book, it was written long ago though- before he was ever a movie star, or before you saw wrestlers in movies.

He Already Has....

I read it in the 7th Grade... The guy had a pretty bad ass ride up until that point of his book. I'm sure a continuation would be just as awesome!
Picked this up a decade ago and I have never put it down since (metaphorically speaking).

I still had to write a new essay. What a cunt.
