The rock is reportedly signing on for a new HBO series about a backyard wrestler.
Do you miss the days when The Rock’s catchphrases were overheard nearly everywhere you went? When wrestling never felt more real, yet also very fake? Well, we have some good news for you – The Rock and actress Issa Rae are both in talks for a new HBO show about a backyard wrestler title TRE CNT (pronounced TRE COUNT).
Variety has reported:
The series focuses on Cassius Jones, a young dock worker and struggling pro-wrestler, who uses inherited life-insurance money for start-up cash and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start a hip-hop centric backyard wrestling empire in Houston’s Third Ward (The Tre) with the help of his working-class family, neighbours, and friends.
Johnson has reportedly signed on as an executive producer for the show, bringing a layer of authenticity, which has gotta be some of the best news we’ve heard all iso.
