There's a new pro wrestling drama headed to NBC - and WWE star Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson will be one of the Executive Producers for the project, along with Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Television have sold a the one-hour "fictional wrestling drama" based int he 1980s to NBC.

The show will see Brent Fletcher and Seamus Kevin Fahey as co-executive producers and writers, with Kristie Anne Reed on board as a co-Executive Producer.

Yeah, can't wait to see such great drama as the past his prime star trying to go when he just can't, the bitchy glory hog that never gives up the top spot and throws a fit when he doesn't get his way, the up and comer that is punished for getting himself over.

Wait, no, I already have that. It's called Wrestling.

No, that's called Sports Entertainment.
This is clearly about amateur wrestling.

I mentioned this in the RAW thread but I will mention it here as well. Is it my imagination or is WWE acknowledging the ECW championship as a world title again?

I ask because they refered to punk as a 5 time champion and swagger as a 2 time champion.

Everyone has noticed the subtle hints to appeal to lapsed fans, thats apart of it.
Shoot comments, non pg talk, shit, brignign Nash in, its all calculated.

**Gryphon** · 08-23-2011, 03:46 PM

So that means they consider Christian a 4 time champion and matt ha4rdy and chavo to be world champions?

I was thinking that by 5 time there are counting his win over Cena at SS to Combine the WWE Titles as a another reign.

I did, i also watched Beyond the Mat which was real.
Edit: My point being, they are doing a fictional show based on a fictional show. With how prevelant shoot interviews are now (real ones i mean) and documentaries, i just don't see the need for this.

I thought so as well at first but they also refered to swagger as a two time world champion.

So I had a dream last night.

John Cena started RAW, coming to the Ring to call out WWE Champion Chavo Guerrero. It was at this point I realised I was either dreaming or died in my sleep. Cena calls him a clown and proceeds to fill up balloons from one of those big circus helium tanks and pass them out to the crowd to make his point. I was disappointed that Doink didn't make an appearance, but whatever. So Chavo comes out and tells him to screw and decided to defend against Sin Cara instead. And it wasn't terrible like their last matches.

What do you think it means?

**Gryphon** · 08-23-2011, 04:22 PM

Chavo will be TNA champ by this time next year?

A show about wrestling without any actual matches sounds exactly like the South Park episode about WWE a couple of years ago.

I still haven't watched it. I have it sitting on my stack of DVDs to watch, but I just haven't popped it in yet.

.

You know who they should get to write the show?
Russo, he's been trying to create a wrestling show with no matches for over a decade.

The Young Bucks decide to talk about their TNA experince and may burn the last bridge there.

I agree with them. The booking was pretty silly and took a left turn after Max's quick heel turn and them deciding not to push him as a solo. But right now the WWE seems to have cooled on them after Booker and Goldust's remarks online that they don't seem to shake hands of the veterans or talk to them for advice.

In all ... the best possible move was to stay quiet and hope for a creative shakeup in TNA down the road and come back. But whoever ends back up on top may remember this interview.

Is Royal banned from the sub-forum?
