What do you expect to see
When they trade Joe Don Baker for the WWE?
He hits the bad guys with a board,
Their crimes won’t be ignored!
This isn’t normal even for Tennessee.
Answer
The original Walking Tall, a loose fictionalization of the story of Buford Pusser in McNair County, Tennessee, starred the not terribly athletic action movie star Joe Don Baker. For the 2004 remake, he was replaced with Dwayne Johnson, still operating under his WWE nom du guerre of "The Rock." Both versions have the Sheriff mete out justice with a 2 x 4. Suffice to say, that's not the way law enforcement normally operates, even in Tennessee.
