World Championship Wrestling, also known as WCW, was a promotional platform for professional wrestling and its founder was Ted Turner in 1988.
Once upon a time, WCW was among the top promotional stages that focused on professional wrestling and shared a prominent berth with WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
However, in 1999, the WCW suffered major losses in terms of ratings and revenue, and eventually from the merger of America Online (AOL) and Turner Broadcasting parent Time Warner, which later came to be known as WarnerMedia. In current times, it is known as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).
After the merger, WCW became defunct, and its assets were taken over by WWF, the World Wrestling Federation now known as WWE. According to Awful Announcing via Deadline, now the production company of Dwayne Johnson’s “The Rock”, Seven Bucks Productions and Vice, will be releasing a documentary that focuses on the demise of WCW.
Both Seven Bucks Productions and Vice will be uncovering, through a documentary series, what went beyond the downfall of the professional wrestling platform, World Championship Wrestling. It has been more than twenty years since WCW went out of operation.
Regarding the impending document series, the Deadline highlighted the production company’s enormous docket of projects and films.
