A wrestling-based television show is in the works, and Luke Hawx is attached to it, according to a new report.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) reports that, per those familiar with the project, a pitch was sold to FX for a half-hour comedy series set in the world of the Los Angeles independent wrestling scene. It was noted that the show’s direction was set to be “Daxed and Confused meets The Wrestler.”
Luke Hawx, who has wrestled for NWA, is attached to the project. Hawx has worked on Heels, and he played Steve Austin on Young Rock.
Sapp also reports that Adair Cole is involved, and he issued 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.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
