With WWE and TNA's ticket sales flagging, is it really a good time to launch a new wrestling promotion?
Well Fox seems to think so.
Wrestlicious is a new wrestling TV show that will start on Fox TV this fall.
Big Vision Entertainment was thinking about launching a new GLOW, but it appears they are being beaten to the punch.
Wrestlicious is the brainchild of 19 year old Jonathan Vargas.
Vargas won the 35.3 million Powerball in May 2008, and is putting the financial backing behind the show.
Wrestlicious is, well, think GLOW run through a timewarp.
Over the top characters, singing, dancing, comedy sketches.....you get the point.
One advantage Wrestlicious has over GLOW is that where GLOW basically used actresses and models as performers, Wrestlicious will mainly have real wrestlers.
Indy wrestlers Daffney, Amber O'Neal, Lizzy Valentine, Christie Ricci, Becky Bayless, Lacey Von Erich, Daizee Haze, Portia Perez, Lexie Fyfe and Serena Deeb are all in the promos for the show (which was filmed in August 2008 preventing contract disputes such as Daffney and TNA).
The show is hosted by wrestling legend Jimmy Hart, and Jonathan Vargas will show up on the show as “JV Rich”, the laid back and likable Rapper/Owner of Wrestlicious.
Part of the reason that Wrestlicious looks a lot like GLOW is that the Senior Producer of the show is GLOW alumni Johnny Cafarella.
Wrestlicious is taking the internet seriously.
They have their own YouTube channel and their own MySpace page.
I haven't seen a Twitter account or Facebook page yet.

So how will Wrestlicious do?
I dont see it threatening WWE or TNA.
Vince is already going with the PG-13 look for the Divas, even changing their slogan to "Sexy, Smart, Powerful."
And TNA is mainly in it for the wrestling with their Knockout division .
BUT you never know, Wrestlicious could take off like wildfire.
As big as WWE is, Fox is bigger. They have way more promtional abilities. They can run ads for the show during male oriented sporting events like football, baseball and NASCAR.
But will a new GLOW be the next big thing?

Take a look for youself and see what you think.....

Here is a rumored roster for the Wrestlicious wrestlers.
