Yes, Wrestlicious is a real show. We've all daydreamed about what we'd do if we won the lottery. In the case of Powerball winner Jay Vargas, winning $17 million means fulfilling his life-long dream of creating and starring in a wrestling-themed online comedy show called Wrestlicious.
In May, the 19-year-old Vargas became the youngest Powerball winner ever. He decided to use some of his winnings to start Wrestlicious, a comedy show that features himself, former wrestling manager Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart, some female wrestlers, and a smattering of women in bikinis.
So how does Jay Vargas describe Wrestlicious?
"MAD TV + the WWE + Baywatch + Dave Chappelle = Wrestlicious,"
In reality, his show looks more like a blend of Hee Haw and the G.L.O.W: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Regardless, Vargas is confident there is audience for wrestling-based sketch comedy.
In addition to being the creator and visionary behind Wrestlicious, Jay Vargas is also one of its star performers. He plays J.V. Rich, a wealthy 21-year-old playboy who lives in a mansion filled with beautiful women in bikinis. In real life, Vargas is married with a child.
Vargas does seem committed to Wrestlicious. The South Carolina native has moved to Tampa so he can be closer to the many pro wrestlers who live in the area.
Vargas has posted clips of Wrestlicious on YouTube. He and Jimmy Hart hope to sell the program to TV executives. According to the Wrestlicious website, the show will be coming to TV screens sometime in the Fall of 2009. Whether or not that comes to fruition remains to be seen.
Here is the Wrestlicious MySpace page.

This is interesting stuff, I believe it could use some tweaks here and there but overall very professinally done. I would love the opportunity to speak to someone in your organization to see how I may be able to help. Email me at matt.meyerss22@yahoo.com if anyone has some time to have a conversation about the infinate possibilities of where this can go. Thanks for the originality.

I predicted your win like another. South Carolina man wins lottery with a July birthday like myself. No proof like the other- I was interested in reading C.S. Lewis Space trilogy and then Bob Space hits the lottery then I read about your incident after dreaming about it- I figure I would write to see if the connection to God is shared mentally. When the earth stop shaking on weeks when I injure my body then I will give up the quest to finding out about the link to God. Good luck on your fortune since I am still playing the lottery here in IL. I figure maybe a man of God might throw some luck my way since I was shocked that I dreamt an African-American won the lottery whose birthday was my same month then the Dark Knight premiered on my birthday so I am kicking myself for leaving the church and finding some reason to return. Had to get that off my chest since I remembered the article and was shocked about the earthquakes and the winter storm when I am Legend premiere in Chicago. Take care and it was nice reading about your charity work- which brings me to one of my favorite charities "Remote Area Medical" They do work in my native country so if kindness ever appears to one's heart- look them up if ever need to be generous.
