Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? It’s a wrestling TV drama.

According to a report in Deadline, NBC has bought a pilot based on the professional wrestling boom of the 1980s, to be produced by former WWE star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

For wrestling fans, the ’80s were a golden era that gave rise to some of the sports most legendary stars, like Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and Bret “The Hitman” Heart.

The show will be written by Brent Fletcher, who has worked as a writer for NBC on the football drama ‘Friday Night Lights,’ and Seamus Kevin Fahey, writer of ‘Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.’ Jerry Bruckheimer will be one of the co-executive producers.
