NBC buys 1980s wrestling drama

NBC has purchased a wrestling drama set in the 1980s from the Jerry Bruckheimer. Yes, the very same Jerry Bruckheimer who created all those mediocre TV shows that rerun in a constant loop on cable.

I know what you're thinking. Fictionalizing wrestling? How could it be done? But never fear, for The Rock himself will be bringing it - whatever "it" is - to the show as an executive producer.

Whether the one-hour show will cover the dramatized lives of real Superstars, or delve completely into the world of make believe has yet to be revealed. Writers and co-executive producers are to include Brent Fletcher and Kevin Fahey, both of the great Spartucus: Gods of the Arena (which I'm sure you've all watched like 100 times, OMG).
