Wrestling-based TV show in works for FX (Patreon)

Another TV show based on pro wrestling is in the works. 

Those familiar with the project claim that a pitch was sold to FX recently in the form of a half hour comedy series that is set in the world of the Los Angeles independent wrestling scene. The idea of the direction of the show was “Dazed and Confused meets The Wrestler.”

Luke Hawx is one of the names attached to it. We’ve learned that the project is hoping to use real wrestlers for the show, and is set in modern day wrestling.

Fightful was told that Adair Cole is involved. We reached out to him and got the following comment:

“I'm excited to be developing a show in set in the world of independent wrestling. I've been dragging my friends to indie shows since I was 15 years old. I was in a garage with 12 other people the night Samoa Joe debuted. This is a world I love, and feel very connected to. Unfortunately, I can't yet comment on where this show lands or who are partners might be, but I can definitely keep Fightful updated as things progress. In the meantime, I will personally be at Epic Pro Wrestling on June 2nd, and GCW Hit Em Up on June 15th, and I'm looking forward to meeting some people who love this world as much as I do."  

Cole is one of the co-writer and co-creators of a show inspired by the 2011 MMA film, Warrior.
