But then again it depends on what your definition of 'work' is.
What are you trying to say with the show? Is it a straight drama? Would there be wrestling scenes? Would it tie in with any of the pro wrestling associations?
No direct ties to current pro wrestling associations. Just sensationalized story arcs inspired by things that have happened in the industry. Screwjobs, drug overdoses, steroids in guys trying to make it, people dying young, old dudes in the indies, politics in the big time, favoritism, nepotism, racism, homosexuality, cheating, women in the industry, groupies, crazy fans, not seeing children, the money, the pranks, people using wrestlers wrong, bone-headed bookers...I'm sure there'd be tons of wrestlers willing to contribute ideas to the show. There could even be a part where characters tour Japan and they show THAT side of the industry. There are so many angles to go about it.
that's a great idea could definitely work on HBO or AMC has to be over the top with the politics and behind the scenes love triangles and the drugs and juicing
Yes
Hbo or showtime only to make it classic
Steroids
Everyone fukking running trains on the women. And the fags that touch dikks outside of the ring
Corruption
If they got balls throw in a benoit like story arc
Vince McMahon type
Could be good
Exactly. It writes itself...and you could blend in dramatic wrestling scenes they way they did in the "The Wrestler" with great camera angles.
