Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, grab your popcorn and strap in because the one and only Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back at it again—this time, not in the ring, but in the producer’s chair! Forget about the haters and the rumor mill grinding about his alleged tardiness (because clearly, time waits for The Rock). He’s moving past the trivial and straight into the squared circle of documentary drama with his latest smash hit in the making, “Who Killed WCW?”
Now, for those of you who might be asking, “Who in the Sam Hill is WCW?” – it’s not a forgotten boy band, but the wrestling juggernaut that once gave the WWE a run for its money! This docuseries, brought to you by the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and his ever-busy Seven Bucks Productions, promises to deliver a Stone Cold Stunner of content on Vice TV starting June 4. We’re talking behind-the-scenes scoop, the inside track, and interviews with the big shots who saw it all come together and fall apart.
Johnson, with the poise of a seasoned smack-talker, said, “The iconic rise and fall of WCW is one of professional wrestling’s most captivating stories—full of big dreams, massive successes, painful failures, and the harsh realities of the pro wrestling business.” And folks, when The Rock promises something big, you better believe it’s going to be YUGE!
As wrestling viewership hits what we might call a ‘Rock Bottom’ of high ratings and fan frenzy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Johnson is no stranger to tackling giants (and we’re not just talking about his movie adversaries or Andre the Giant-sized challenges). This isn’t his first rodeo with Vice TV either, after the body-slamming success of “Tales From The Territories.” We can only expect “Who Killed WCW?” to be a sequel that outshines its predecessor, delivering The People’s Elbow to our boredom.
So, set your calendars, folks. This isn’t just a walk down memory lane; it’s a Rock Bottom down memory lane with a side of The People’s Eyebrow. And remember, it doesn’t matter what the critics say because in the world of The Rock, it’s about entertainment, electricity, and the eternal echo of “Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?”
