Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather ’round! In a world already saturated with hours upon hours of wrestling madness from WWE, AEW, and other brave contenders, FX has decided to add a spicy new twist. Hold onto your folding chairs and prepare for “Suplex City, L.A.,” the latest half-hour sitcom set to rock the wrestling universe!
According to the reliable insiders at “Fightful Select,” this innovative series is making its way to the small screen, and it’s bound to body slam your funny bone. Picture this: a wild fusion of the gritty 2008 drama “The Wrestler” and the laid-back 1993 stoner classic “Dazed and Confused,” all set in the vibrant, chaotic world of the Los Angeles indie wrestling scene.
Guiding this powerhouse project is none other than Luke Hawx, a man who juggles wrestling and acting like a pro wrestler balances on the top rope. With a resume that boasts consulting for “Heelz,” cameo appearances in blockbusters like “The Fast and The Furious” and “Logan,” and matches in WWE and NWA, Hawx is ready to bring authenticity and a pile-driver’s worth of entertainment to the show.
And who else is in the ring? “Fightful” hints at a parade of real-life wrestlers stepping into the spotlight, ensuring the show packs a genuine punch. It’s a full-scale invasion of wrestling talent, all ready to grapple with comedic brilliance.
But wait, there’s more! Adair Cole, the mastermind who transformed the 2011 film “Warrior” into a soon-to-be smash hit series for Paramount+, is tagging in. As a die-hard wrestling aficionado, Cole’s enthusiasm is off the charts. He’s even planning a pit stop at GCW’s Hit Em Up event in Los Angeles on June 15. So, if you’ve got burning questions about “Suplex City, L.A.,” catch him ringside for some insider info.
