Rock, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Brian Gewirtz will serve as executive producers, as will Vice TV’s Lee Hoffman, Evan Husney, and Jason Eisener. Vice Studios Canada will produce the series alongside Bell Media’s Crave.
Rock’s production company previously worked with Vice TV on the Tales of the Territories series released in 2022 as well.
The Rock said about the project:
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.
Dany Garcia said of the project:
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.
Interim president of Vice TV, Peter Gaffney, said:
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.
