NBC released the full-length trailer for “Young Rock” on Tuesday, giving a glimpse of the pro-wrestler-turned-Hollywood star’s journey from young kid growing up in Hawaii to getting his start in professional athletics.

The trailer also reveals the “How I Met Your Mother”-esque framing device for the show, which has Dwayne Johnson playing himself as a presidential candidate in 2032, recalling his early life history.

“To understand me,” Johnson says in the clip, “you gotta understand where I came from.”
