Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? No? Let us tell you: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is teaming up with Jerry Bruckheimer to produce a new pro wrestling drama for NBC.

The network has purchased a pilot for the show, which could lead to a series. The untitled drama will focus on wrestling in the '80s, when the sport ("sport") rose to fame and acclaim. Of course, The Rock became famous for his wrestling performance in the '90s, but right now he's just a producer, and not the star.
