-My first guest is a 17-time WWE champion

The superlative

and one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

Now his life is the subject of a new NBC comedy series

which premieres February 16th at 8:00 p.m.

-That is what I'm talking about. -Good to see you, brother.

-It is great to see you, man. You look great.

You dedicate 100% to every single thing you do,

but you've always done that since I've known you.

By the way, it is unbelievably delicious.

That is a fantastic tequila. -Thank you, man.

-Yeah. I sent you some. -Dude, it's empty. It's done.

But you broke records in its first year of business.

We wound up becoming -- We wound up breaking --

the biggest launch in the history of all spirits,

That's vodka, that's whiskey, it's rum, it's -- it's gin.

-And to give you a little bit of context,

Or did someone else bring the idea to you

who you've met in the past, as we're all buddies.

I would say, "Yeah, you know, see that gas station over there?

And then the next town we would go to, like,

So all these stories -- Finally, you know --

creating a show that has the lens of comedy

but to be able to share the life lessons I've learned."

-You have three different actors playing you

You also appear as yourself in the year 2032

Please promise me. Just don't ever change.

It is so fun to watch everything you do, man. I love it.

How did you decide that you would tell the story that way?

Well, first of all, we wanted to figure out

three points of my life that were defining times.

When I was 10 years old, living here in Hawaii...

when I was 15 years old, after multiple arrests

and doing a lot of things I shouldn't have been doing...

when I started to get my life a little bit back on track,

"Well, ultimately the audience is going to want to see you.

What's the creative way that we can infuse you into the show?"

And it was her. She came up with the idea.

She said, "Well, what if we set it in 2032
