Short description
As Dwayne Johnson runs for president in 2032, he takes a comedic look back at his extraordinary life through the outrageous stories of his family and youth that shaped him into the man he is today. He explores his childhood years living amid influential wrestling icons while his dad rose to fame in the business, his rebellious teenage years attending high school in Pennsylvania, and his football years teamed up with powerhouse players at the University of Miami. In his telling, Johnson explains that while his experiences have been larger than life, he remains a down-to-earth guy who still relates to the American people.

What's left behind the scenes
- It was initially planned to film the series in Los Angeles; however, due to the coronavirus pandemic, production had to be moved to Australia (specifically, to the state of Queensland), where the disease situation was being kept under control.
- While working on the first two seasons of the series, Dwayne Johnson's schedule was so hectic that he categorically refused to spend two weeks quarantined in an Australian hotel, so all scenes featuring him and Randall Park's character were filmed in Atlanta.
- It is claimed that Brett Azar remained in character as The Iron Sheik (born Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, an Iranian and American wrestler, 1942-2023) even when the cameras were off, and that he adopted the character's mannerisms and speech after studying archival footage. According to the Iron Sheik's daughter, her father and other family members were delighted by how accurately Azar portrayed him on screen.
- During the filming of the first season, the three actors playing Dwayne Johnson never actually met him in person, communicating primarily via Zoom. Bradley Constant and Adrian Gru only met Johnson face-to-face in Memphis during the production of the third season, while Uli Latukefu met and got to know Johnson while filming Jaume Collet-Serra's action-adventure movie 'Black Adam' (2022).
