Dwayne Johnson and Issa Rae to produce a backyard wrestling series for HBO

Variety

TRE CNT (aka “TRE COUNT”) hails from writer Mohamad El Masri and also counts Johnson's producing partner Dany Garcia as a producer. According to Variety, "the series focuses on Cassius Jones, a young dock worker and struggling pro-wrestler, who uses inherited life-insurance money for start-up cash and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start a hip-hop centric backyard wrestling empire in Houston’s Third Ward (The Tre) with the help of his working-class family, neighbors, and friends."
