Dwayne Johnson is Developing a Backyard Wrestling Series For HBO Titled TRE CNT

Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Issa Rae (Insecure), and Dany Garcia (Ballers) to executive produce a new series for HBO about the creation of a backyard wrestling promotion.

The project is titled TRE CNT a.k.a TRE COUNT and the show focuses on Cassius Jones, “a young dock worker and struggling pro-wrestler, who uses inherited life-insurance money for start-up cash and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start a hip-hop centric backyard wrestling empire in Houston’s Third Ward (The Tre) with the help of his working-class family, neighbors, and friends.”

The series comes from writer Mohamad El Masri (Here and Now) and it seems like the kind of project that Johnson would love to be a part of. There’s no word on if he’ll appear in the series but the fact that he and his Seven Bucks Productions is involved definitely makes the series more appealing and marketable.

Does this sound like a show you might enjoy watching? Have you ever had backyard wrestling matches for fun!?
