Dwayne Johnson Finalises His Upcoming Project: A Wrestling Series for HBO

It's almost about time that Dwayne Johnson stars in a wrestling show or film, just what he has originally been known for.

And that's finally happening only he isn't actually starring in it. The WWE legend and former Ballers star will executive produce a show about backyard wrestling that is in development at the premium cabler. His Seven Bucks Productions partner, Dany Garcia, and Insecure creator and star Issa Rae are also exec producing.

Titled Tre Cnt (or Tre Count), the show centers on Cassius Jones, a dock worker and struggling pro wrestler who lives in Houston's Third Ward, also known as The Tre. It will follow working-class family, neighbors and friends of Cassius who come together — pooling their talents, resources, savvy and dreams — to build a unique hip-hop-centric backyard-wrestling empire from nothing, with Cassius using inherited life insurance money and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start his American dream.
