“Good. It Was Feeding The Rock’s Ego”: Fans Turn Their Back On Dwayne Johnson As ‘Young Rock’ Suffers a Devastating Blow

Recently, NBC announced the cancellation of two of its shows, of which one was Young Rock. This show was based on the life of Dwayne Johnson and showcased his journey from childhood to becoming a successful WWE superstar and Hollywood actor. However, after lasting for three seasons on the network, Young Rock is taken down. This is a blow for The Brahma Bull and the Seven Bucks Production, who were one of the producers of the show.

Over the course of three seasons, the show displayed several moments from the life of The Rock. Moreover, we got to see actors performing as several wrestling stars on the show. Also, Young Rock gave us some insights into the professional wrestling business from the 80s and 90s.

A throwback to the three seasons of Young Rock

Young Rock made its debut in February 2021 and fans were very eager to watch it. The story revolved around ‘The Great One’s’ life as a child, all the way to his pro wrestling journey. The plot of the series was Dwayne Johnson, narrating stories of his past to Randall Park in the year 2032 while he is a candidate for the US Presidency.

Season 1 averaged more than 3 million viewers with a 0.62 demo. The show dipped in season 2 with 2.23 million viewers and a 0.39 demo rating but the big drop happened when the show was moved to Friday nights for season 3. Up against SmackDown, the show averaged 1.4 million viewers with an 0.25 rating.

Many expected the news of NBC taking down Young Rock as their fall line-up last month did not include Young Rock among the shows listed. They had not made the decision about the series based of The Rock’s life.

At the moment, the future of the show is unknown, whether it will be shelved or if it would stream on any one of the OTT platforms. Nevertheless, we got to see some of the well-known popular wrestlers in the series.

Wrestling stars like The Iron Sheik, Macho Man Randy Savage, Afa and Sika, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Pat Patterson and others were brought to life on the small screen. Moreover, we got to see three different actors playing The Rock. Adrian Groulx, as 10- to 14-year-old, Bradley Constant as 15- to 17-year-old, and Uli Latukefu as 18- to 26-year-old. Also, Becky Lynch played Cyndi Lauper for two episodes in the series.
