Tuesday’s episode of “Young Rock” is a special one. Not only does the installment chronicle Dwayne Johnson’s first-ever WWF match, but the episode was written by those who are incredibly familiar with the events chronicled within: Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Brian Gewirtz.The episode, titled “Corpus Christi,” marks Johnson and Garcia’s screenwriting debut, while Gewirtz was a longtime head writer for WWE.

Combined, the trio distilled a wealth of knowledge and memories into a half-hour episode that also includes appearances by wrestling legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H – a task that they admitted was difficult. “There’s so much story to tell in that limited space, but Dwayne’s got a great memory when it comes to those moments – especially these moments that are so pivotal for him – so he’s a great resource for us,” Garcia (who serves as president of production at Seven Bucks Productions) told TheWrap during a recent interview.“This is something we’ve been looking forward to for a very long time to be able to come together and do this,” Brian Gewitrz (who is also an executive producer on “Young Rock”) said during the same interview, noting that they were eager to make their writing debut on the show’s second season. “We got some great support and guidance from our creators of the show Nahnatchka Khan and Jeff Chiang.

It was a really seamless process and we’re happy with how it turned out.”The episode finds young Dwayne rubbing shoulders with wrestling legends, and Gewirtz relished the opportunity to write for these notable personalities.
