The Rock is not responsible for the delay in the upcoming WrestleMania documentary.
Over WrestleMania weekend a trailer dropped for WrestleMania XL: Behind The Curtain, which will address the journey to the biggest show of the year, the pivots made by the company and new interviews from some of the biggest stars in the company. Originally set to premiere on YouTube on April 10th, the project has still not gone to air at the time of writing.
As the project involves The Rock, one theory that circulated online was that the Hollywood star was the one responsible for the documentary being delayed and that he would not let it be released until he was happy with the final cut. According to another source, this is not true.
Brian Gewirtz, who previously served as a lead writer for WWE and now works for Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions, appeared on The Masked Man Show and provided an update on the project and when it is likely to be released:
So, first of all, let me just say, there is, believe it or not, there is an awesome doc that WWE is gonna be putting out. The Rock isn’t holding (it) hostage, you know, until he has approval of every frame. I think there was an error in terms of promoting it so soon because it wasn’t ready to come out. So, that was an error that was made. But, this is a doc that went from, I think, 11 minutes to 45 minutes. Now, it’s over an hour and it’s pretty awesome and it will be coming out in some form pretty soon is my understanding and it covers a lot of that stuff so I don’t wanna get too deep into it and spoil the doc.
The Rock Working On Wrestling Biopic
Following on from the success of The Iron Claw, which focused on the Von Erich family, The Rock recently announced that his production company is also working on adapting a legendary wrestler’s life to the big screen. The subject of the biopic is Ric Flair.
