In Wake Up Call (working title), Johnson will lend a helping hand to everyday people who are facing enormous challenges in their lives. "We had a wonderful time working with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on The Hero, in which he challenged and mentored a group of everyday heroes," said David Eilenberg, senior vice president, unscripted development for TNT and TBS. "Wake Up Call evolved from our experience on The Hero and is its natural successor, bringing the human spirit of that show home to take on everyday challenges. In this new series, Dwayne will bring his mission of empowerment and change right to people's front doors." fast-and-furious-6-the-rock In Wake Up Call, The Rock will tackle the worst of the worst and make them into the best of the best with his own personal brand of high-octane motivation. From dysfunctional homes and dead-beat dads to sports teams that don't gel and businesses struggling to survive, The Rock is going to descend into the chaos of everyday problems to pull good people up by the bootstraps, reminding them what hard work, passion and true discipline can accomplish. Each segment on Wake Up Call will be a journey for The Rock and his team, as well as for those who will struggle to live up to The Rock's herculean ideals. With 4 a.m. wake-up calls, emotional reunions and near-impossible goals, everyone who comes in contact with The Rock's electric sense of personal motivation will grow from it, finding inner strength and heart. TNT has ordered eight one-hour episodes of Wake Up Call, which is being produced by Ben Silverman's Electus, 5x5 Media and 7 Bucks Entertainment. Wake Up Call is slated to premiere in 2014.
That would be interesting to see. It might be even more interesting to see if there is an NBA player that can hang with Dwayne's physical strength and endurance. I remember when Rodman and Malone went on the WWE they had a hard time with the match.
I had such a blast at that event in San Diego. I still have the t-shirt: "Bash at the Beach! Slam Dunks didn't settle it, now Body Slams will!"
