Imagine they get some 30-ish cats to play Hulk Hogan-esque and Ric Flair-like characters. Dude marrying McMayne's daughter, his son going into exile. Doofus Carter running the "competition". :ohlawd:

does fox own any of the premium networks? is there a shot in HELL that this could actually be a "mature" series with no commercial interruption? maybe even on like a streaming service?

i really, really feel like this has huge potential.

plus you know there's gonna be some ill cameos.

Not sure if this will reach air though. I remember in 09, Norman Lear wanted to create a show about 70s wrestling on HBO but I think Vince squashed it.

:dwillhuh: Vince got clout like that with HBO?

I'm sure anyone under a Legends deal will be barred from doing the show.

Fox and FX are owned by the same parent company.

lets get virgil and recreate the alleged pat patterson incident, or the xpac shytting in sables bag or a character thats like a young orton, an arrogant 3rd generation superstar that sexually harasses the women, and shyts in their bags as well. or we have a female head writer or vince mcmaynes daughter having an affair with an up and coming wrestler and secretly pulls him up the ranks which culminates with heart failure or a screwjob. or a hot cosby.

Seeing this reported as a "Wrestling based soap" so tentatively holding out little hope for quality... it's gonna be Empire level cheese. :scusthov:
