Following reports of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Seven Bucks production company working on a project related to WCW, Deadline has confirmed the news of the docuseries Who Killed WCW? premiering June 4 on Vice TV.
The Rock and Dany Garcia serve as executive producers of the project, with the former WWE Champion speaking to its significance:
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.
Peter Gaffney, interim president of Vice TV, also made a statement on the project, which comes after a previous collaboration for Tales from the Territories:
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, and 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.
