The Rock Produces “Who Killed WCW?” Docuseries

In November, it was announced that The Rock’s production company would be collaborating on the production of a VICE docuseries titled “Who Killed WCW?”. Producer Evan Hunsey recently spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful about The Rock’s involvement in the project, saying:

“It was nothing we really planned on, per se, in terms of having The Rock sit down for an interview. But it just, as we started sending him cuts of the episodes, he was so enthusiastic about them and he loved that first episode, and he’s like, I wanna sit down for this. We’re like, ‘Awesome.’ It actually worked out more so in a practical way, because most of the people we interviewed for this had lived through the demise of WCW, and that was the whole point of this, by the way.

The whole point was to not go the WWE framework because, you know, victors rewrite history and we didn’t want to go down that path. It doesn’t really get into—like it touches on it, but it doesn’t really get into how—the WWE fought back in the Monday Night Wars and stuff. It touches on that briefly. So it doesn’t get into the DX invasion and all that stuff. But anyway, we needed somebody to speak enthusiastically about the good days of WCW, and nobody involved with WCW these days is gonna speak enthusiastically about it. They’re all kind of dejected, you know?”

Continuing, Husney added that Rock served as the perfect hype man while also offering his own perspective on the events that took place while he was in WWE:

“So we needed a hype man. We needed somebody to put all this over and to talk about when it was good, how great it was and there’s nobody better than The Rock to really do that. He also did touch on what his perspective was from the other side seeing how when WCW was kicking their ass like, ‘Whoa, we need to be inspired by this and we need to go more in that direction. I think it all worked out.”
