Because professional wrestling still has a stigma w/ most mainstream folks, and the people actually involved in the industry generally don't have a lot of ingenuity.
Probably will happen eventually, though. They make television shows about everything.

Slapping the HBO logo would cure all of that.

Because vince would probably sue and because people syill have a carny interpretation of it
Something along the lines as the wrestler as like a 16 episode mini series would be fire
Id rather it be like two stories, one of a wrestler dealing with his onscreen character and how it affects his off screen life and vice versa with politics, drug use, booking etc.
And the second main character being a shiesty/slick tslking promoter trying to get by business wise, put out the best product, back stabbing talent, other promoters, etc.
A paul heyman style character with like a paul Giamatti as the promoter
An aging star who joins the jndy company in an attempt to salvage his career and bring up a new company to rival the big show aka wwe faux company with like a healthy in shape hugh jackman as a terrt funk via ecw or mickey Rourke in the wrestler type
Maybe a young guy to play the charismatic kid whose trying to make it in to the bigger promotion but they ignore him played by like donald glover
Add a diva who is a ring rat but dates the promoter in order to stay relevant etc.
Mix in a few other characters and you got show

No. The first sentence is why that HBO logo aint going nowhere near a wrestling show.
True, HBO produces some yokel friendly entertainment but won't go as far as wrestling. Even if Ballers isn't any more highbrow than this it at least has the perception of being so.

U must not have watched any documentaries they put out...shyt is typically raw whatever rhe subject is
If they did it I would watch and think a wrestling drama could potentially be a very good show. They would just have to hit on the actors they hire and make sure they get some actual wrestling people involved.

You should get on that breh(dont ask me how) no joke it sounds like something that would be must watch.
When the young breh gets to the big time only to snap under the foolishness of his street thug meets soul train gimmick
....it's a movie, but still.(a series based on it would be dope too)
