In an exclusive story, Deadline is reporting that Netflix is
developing a new drama series titled Tuesday Night Titans,
based on professional wrestling.
The series is from creator and writer Michael Notarile,
himself a former WWE creative writer who will also be
executive producer along with Jon M. Chu and Caitlin Foito.
According to Deadline, Tuesday Night Titans “follows a
tenacious writer who risks her career in the big leagues to
recruit her estranged childhood best friend – a ‘jobber’
wrestler on the indies – to join the same behemoth company
they idolized in their youth. Their destinies become
entangled as they battle personal demons, ruthless
colleagues, and their complicated history in an industry
where ‘kayfabe’ – wrestling’s staged reality – isn’t
confined to the ring, but bleeds into every aspect of their
lives.”
The name should be familiar with long-time wrestling fans as
it’s the same name of a wrestling talk show from the 80s.
