Fox picks up wrestling drama "The Work"

[Tanahashi Coates]

The Work, through 20th Century Fox TV, is set in the world of professional wrestling. It was written on spec by Scott O’Connor, author of the novels Untouchable and Half World. The script was shopped to cable networks, with Fox stepping up to take it off the table. O’Connor has been interested in professional wrestling and penned an article about WWE star Brock Lesnar in New York Times Magazine in August.

This could be the wrestling version of Playmakers if done right. Considering it's not on NBC or a Universal network, Fox doesn't have to worry about Vince breathing down their neck.

It's about time. Been impatiently waiting for something like this for a WHILE. Hope they get it right and make it gritty.

The fukkery potential!

Vince about to put his lawyer on OT preparing lawsuits if they really go for a Playmakers type of show. You know he'll have someone watching for any similarities, and coppin pleas about how the business is no longer like that. If it gets better ratings than Raw he's gonna shyt
