AustinFan Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 NBC has decided against going forward with a drama pilot about 1980s professional wrestling involving Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as an executive producer and Jerry Bruckheimer's production company, reports PWInsider.com. The option for the series was not renewed last month. Since NBC purchased the series and guaranteed a pilot episode would air, the network is believed to have paid a penalty for dropping the project. - In Thursday's birthdays, WWE Hall of Famer Wendi Richter turns 51-years-old, one-time WWE Divas Champion Jillian Hall turns 32, and Low Ki, winner of the second season of WWE NXT, turns 33. - The 2010 film Tooth Fairy, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, airs on FX on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. and Friday at 11:00 a.m. - Former WWE talent Adam Copeland (a/k/a Edge) appeared on a Canadian morning radio show Wednesday promoting his upcoming appearances on Syfy's supernatural drama series Haven. He explained that he cut his signature locks last spring prior to his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame because he didn't want to be a 40-year-old with a ponytail and there were no tables, ladders and chairs in his life. The 14-minute interview is available here. Credit: PwPix.net http://www.pwpix.net/pwpixnews/headlines/348914919.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Carell Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Edge is one funny guy, but I agree with him. Also hopefully some other network picks up Rocks show. Screw NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they play that WM once. They aren't a network that says "We enjoy wrestling" like USA is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

american dream Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 More like wrestling isn't famous within NBC.

And they play that WM once. They aren't a network that says "We enjoy wrestling" like USA is. USA Network is under the NBC umbrella.. just like Comedy Central.. and back in the day(80's), SNME, was on NBC consistently, before there was a USA Network.. also, SyFy is under the NBC umbrella.. so I would think it is safe to say, that NBC "enjoys" wrestling.. or it would not be on any of their channels.

Ayatollah Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 LOL. The title makes it seem like he's lost it all. He still has Fast Six, AND the WWE Championship in his near future. The Rock is the shit, with or without NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 lol what a shit topic title. Probaly just a lame joke though. Pretty sure Rock has a TV show coming up on TNT soon. Also, unlike this NBC thing, hes actually on it. He was really only a exec producer of this NBC show and its not really that big of a deal or a big loss to anything hes doing.
