Great idea for a TV comedy

[Im Still Ballin]

Semi professional wrestler aspiring to be a pro-wrestler

Similar to Kenny Powers except this dude has never accomplished anything in his life. Spent his childhood power-slamming his brothers and friends through tables and jumping off the roof, performing dangerous feats, mimicking their heros in the ring on TV

Now in his 20's, working a deadbeat job, paying his way through wrestling school and living in Mom's basement....

The story continues.

Here's a type of thing they'd have done growing up...

A mix between Eastbound and Down, Nacho Libre, Hot Rod and Flight of The Conchords...

I should send this to HBO

[GreggPopazit]

So a young version of "The Wrestler" but with comedy elements.

Yes and a strong emphasis on being pathetic aka Flight of the Conchords

[Knicks101]

This idea sucks.

[Im Still Ballin]

why

give me a reason or your just a blind hater

[Knicks101]

You get this thing into Hollywood production, call me. I want a role in it!

What's the idea? I have OP on ignore.

[Im Still Ballin]

The show will more so be focused on the life of a semi-professional wrestler than being focused on pro wrestling

Just how in Flight of The Conchords it was about the life of struggling musicians not about their musical careers

[Knicks101]

A wrestling TV show without real wrestling.

So a Vince Russo show?

Idea sucks.

There will be a female character as the love interest of the main character...

Her boyfriend is Mr. Perfect (not the wrestler), tall handsome rich and a dick... similar to the dude in Hot Rod who was Denise's boyfriend... Him and the semi-pro wrestler will obviously not like eachother

[Bless Mathews]

Op wants to be the extra in all the wrestling scenes where he's the other wrestler rolling Around sweaty in speedos.

[Im Still Ballin]

I can't wear speedos I'm packing too much heat

Mobcaster.com

get your idea funded.

[Im Still Ballin]

suppose I'd need to work on it a bit more, get the characters/plot/settings down

Wrestling WRESTLING (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/WrestlingUSAF_Flag.jpg) or "Wrestling" (Fake wrestling/Acting/Stuntwork) ?

[Im Still Ballin]

Fake wrestling obviously hence its a comedy

Think with the right formula it could be hilarious on a Eastbound and Down/Flight of the Conchords level

[pauk]

Semi professional martial artist & stuntman aspiring to be a martial arts expert, MMA champion and/or a martial arts actor/stuntman like Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan.

Similar to Warrior with Tom Hardy except this dude has never accomplished anything in his life and is a bit more traditionally martial arts minded, there is some American Shaolin or No Retreat, No Surrender elements in the movie. Spent his childhood Bruce Lee'ing his brothers and friends through tables and doing Jackie Chan stunts, jumping off the roof, performing dangerous feats, mimicking their heros on TV

Now in his 20's, working a deadbeat job, paying his way through his dreams and living in Mom's basement....

The story continues.
