‘Who Killed WCW?’ docuseries to air soon, produced by The Rock
Seven Bucks Productions - the production company helmed by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Dany Garcia - are set to continue their relationship with Vice with the upcoming series ‘Who Killed WCW?’
Rock and Garcia are set to be executive producers of the series - set to premiere on June 4 - with the pair previously helming Tales from the Territories for Vice.
In a press release, Johnson, Garcia, and Vice TV’s Peter Gaffney said the following about the upcoming series:
“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. With wrestling viewership and fan engagement at an ultimate high, there has never been a more perfect time to tell top-quality wrestling stories, and there’s no better one to start with than a one-of-a-kind, behind-the-scenes look at this epic saga, known as The Rise and Fall of WCW and personally, the rise of WCW, not the fall, inspired me greatly early in my career where I would eventually become, the Final Boss,” said Johnson.
“Diving into the saga of WCW is not just another project for us; it is an opportunity to highlight our talents as documentary storytellers in a world where we have historical credibility and knowledge: professional wrestling. This project allows us to build a bridge between the passionate global wrestling audience and those curious about an often-misunderstood industry, strengthened by our partnership with a dedicated storyteller in Vice TV,” added Garcia.
Interim President of Vice TV Peter Gaffney stated: “Vice TV has always been at the forefront of telling stories from which others shy away. We’re lucky to join forces again with Dwayne, Dany of the Seven Bucks team. We have unparalleled access to one of the great stories of modern professional wrestling, and we can’t wait for our audience to see it come to life.”
The series is set to ‘shed light never seen before on the personal stories and struggles of those who lived through the rise and fall of WCW’, and will feature exclusive, in-depth interviews with wrestlers, executives, and insiders.
