“I appreciate the question and I understand where it’s coming from, but if I were to do that, then I’m living my own fantasy within the video game and I don’t know if you are aware of this, I am maybe a couple of weeks, months, maybe even a year or two older than the typical gamer that’s out there today.

“So because of that I try not to play to my own fantasy booking, I try to play to the audience’s fantasy booking, and not just the WWE audience, but the video game audience itself. ‘Cause I would like to steal people from other video game franchises. I like to entice people to not play Fortnite, but to play WWE 2k26. I would like to entice people to not play Call of Duty, but to play WWE 2k26.

“So it’s not just a matter of, ‘Ooh, what would happen if I put Lou Thesz and Bruno Sammartino and Brock Lesnar in a triple threat match together?’ It’s more of, ‘What can appeal to today’s gamer audience? What appeals to that crowd? What can I do to tickle their fancy, to entice their imagination?’ Not just live out my own fantasies that I would have trouble booking for whatever different reason in today’s environment, including Thesz versus Sammartino versus Lesnar.” Paul Heyman

Tom Brady Jabs Logan Paul in WWE-Flag Football Feud

The playful rivalry kicked off on Brady's Impaulsive podcast appearance, where he called Paul's WWE flips 'cute' compared to the real competition of his Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 in Saudi Arabia, featuring stars like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Paul hit back, claiming most NFL players would flop in a WWE ring and questioning Brady's athletic credentials despite his seven Super Bowls.

Bliss sealed the win with her Twisted Bliss on Vega, earning a spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber on February 28 in Chicago alongside Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley. The lighthearted moment had fans laughing and cheering, with Flair channeling her dad Ric Flair's 'Wooooo!' and Bliss looking genuinely amused as three more qualifiers remain. (Grok)

Martin Scorsese, creators of ‘Billions’ teaming up for Netflix Las Vegas drama

Netflix has ordered a series set in Las Vegas from three people who know the territory well: Casino director Martin Scorsese and Ocean’s Thirteen writers and Billions co-creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien.

The streamer has given an eight-episode order to the drama, which will center on the president of a hot Las Vegas hotel/casino and the moves he makes to secure and expand his position in the city. Koppelman and Levien are writing the currently untitled show and will serve as showrunners.

The pair will executive produce with Scorsese and his Sikelia Productions, Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn of Expanded Media, Paul Schiff and Beth Schacter.

Casino Notes

Casino (TV series / mini-series) Casino (1995–1997):
A famous five-part American television mini-series directed by Martin Scorsese, sometimes referred to as the “Casino trilogy/series” informally because it completes Scorsese’s unofficial mafia trilogy (along with Goodfellas and Casino the movie). However, it’s not actually a traditional TV series but a long-form film released in parts in some countries.

More commonly, people just mean the 1995 film Casino itself when they say “Casino series.”

News

Casino (1995) – Martin Scorsese Film & Its Informal "Series"

The iconic 1995 film Casino directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone, is often grouped with Scorsese’s other mafia/gangster films as an unofficial trilogy:

Goodfellas (1990) Casino (1995) The Irishman (2019)

Fans and critics frequently refer to these three as Scorsese’s “Casino trilogy” or “mob series,” even though they are not direct sequels.

Las Vegas (2003–2008) – NBC series starring James Caan and Josh Duhamel set in a fictional Las Vegas casino (the Montecito). Often what people mean when they say “casino series” in the 2000s context.

Tilt (2005) – ESPN drama about professional poker players trying to take down a corrupt card room boss.

Luck (2012) – HBO series created by David Milch, set at a California racetrack with heavy gambling elements (cancelled after one season).

YouTube / Streaming Content (Modern Usage)

NG Slot – “Casino Series” episodes where he plays high-limit slots in Las Vegas and elsewhere.

The Big Jackpot (Raja) – Famous for his “Boom!” catchphrase and multi-hour “Casino Series” videos.

Slotlady, Brian Christopher Slots, etc., all have ongoing “casino series” playlists.

Poker Tournament Series

PokerStars Casino Series (occasional themed online festivals)
888poker Casino Pride Series or similar regional series GGPoker sometimes partners with land-based casinos for “Casino Championship Series”

The Late Mail ...

Coyote vs. Acme

Coyote vs. Acme is an upcoming live-action/animated legal comedy film directed by Dave Green, based on the Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote and Ian Frazier’s 1990 New Yorker article of the same name. The film stars Will Forte as Kevin Avery, Wile E. Coyote’s lawyer, and John Cena as Buddy Crane, the Acme Corporation’s attorney, with Lana Condor, P.J. Byrne, Tone Bell, Martha Kelly, Luis Guzmán, and Eric Bauza (voicing multiple Looney Tunes characters) in supporting roles. The story follows Wile E. Coyote, frustrated by Acme’s faulty products in his pursuit of the Road Runner, hiring a down-and-out attorney to sue the corporation, facing off against his lawyer’s intimidating former boss. Development began in 2018, with filming in New Mexico from March to May 2022. Initially shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in November 2023 for a $30 million tax write-off, the decision sparked backlash, leading the studio to allow the filmmakers to seek other distributors. Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights in March 2025 for $50 million, and the film is now set for a theatrical release on August 28, 2026. The movie blends nostalgia with modern storytelling, featuring cameos from Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety, and has been praised for its humor, heart, and visual style, drawing comparisons to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Robin Claim Denied for Batman Sequel

Entertainment journalist Jeff Sneider reported that Robin is featured in the script for "The Batman Part II," describing it as a bold evolution of the dark narrative from the 2022 original. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn denied the claim, stating that only a few people have read the script and urging dismissal of the speculation. The film remains scheduled for release on October 2, 2026, with production set to begin in early 2025.

News

Upcoming Street Fighter Reboot (2026)

Overview: A new live-action Street Fighter movie, directed by Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip), is in development by Legendary Entertainment and Capcom, with a planned release in 2026. Originally set for March 20, 2026, it was delayed after directors Danny and Michael Philippou left due to scheduling conflicts. No new release date is confirmed.

Cast:Andrew Koji as Ryu
Callina Liang as Chun-Li
Noah Centineo as Ken
Jason Momoa as Blanka
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog
David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
Cody Rhodes as Guile
Roman Reigns as Akuma
Orville Peck as Vega
Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim

Hirooki Goto as E. Honda

Plot: Details are scarce, but it’s expected to focus on the classic World Warrior Tournament, featuring rivalries like Ryu vs. Ken and battles against M. Bison’s Shadaloo organization. The tone aims to balance the games’ playful, over-the-top style with modern cinematic flair, learning from past adaptations’ mistakes.

Production: Filming is set to begin in September 2025 in Australia, with WWE stars Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns scheduled to film from September 2, with Reigns on set until late September.

Expectations: The diverse cast, including action stars, wrestlers, and musicians, suggests a bold, eclectic approach. Fans hope it captures the game’s vibrant characters and fighting spirit, avoiding the pitfalls of earlier films.

Additional Notes

Other Adaptations: Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) is a well-regarded anime adaptation, closer to the game’s tone and often preferred by fans. Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist (2014) is a live-action web series focusing on Ryu and Ken’s early years, also better received than the live-action films.

Sentiment on X: Posts on X reflect mixed feelings about the 1994 film, with some calling it entertainingly bad but not on the level of cult classics like The Room. The upcoming reboot generates cautious optimism, with excitement for the cast but skepticism due to past failures.

Critical Perspective: The 1994 film’s campy style and deviation from the game’s tournament focus (e.g., no Hadokens or special moves) disappointed purists, while the 2009 film’s gritty approach failed to capture the franchise’s charm. The 2026 reboot has a chance to succeed by embracing the games’ colorful, exaggerated tone, but it must navigate the challenge of translating a fighting game’s minimal plot into a compelling narrative.

Happy Gilmore 2

Happy Gilmore 2 is a 2025 American sports comedy film, a sequel to the 1996 cult classic Happy Gilmore. Directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy, it premiered on Netflix on July 25, 2025, and became the platform’s biggest U.S. film debut, garnering 46.7 million views in its opening weekend.

Plot:
The story picks up nearly 30 years after the original. Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), now older and retired from golf after a tragic accident, struggles with personal issues and has turned to alcohol. He returns to the sport to raise $300,000 for his daughter Vienna’s (Sunny Sandler) ballet school tuition in Paris. Along the way, he faces his old rival Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) and contends with an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) pushing an extreme version of golf. The plot blends nostalgia with new challenges, focusing on Happy’s comeback and family life.

Cast Returning:
Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit), Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin), Ben Stiller (Hal L.).

New: Bad Bunny (as Happy’s caddy), Sunny Sandler (Vienna), Sadie Sandler, Benny Safdie, Travis Kelce (waiter), Margaret Qualley, Ethan Cutkosky, Conor Sherry, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Blake Clark.

Production: Filmed in New Jersey, with Sandler and Herlihy co-writing. The script was rewritten to honor Carl Weathers (Chubbs), who passed away in 2024, with references to his character instead of recasting.

Tributes: The film honors Weathers and includes a nod to Cameron Boyce. (Grok)

News

Hulk Hogan: News

Hogan’s legacy includes his role in popularizing professional wrestling in the 1980s, headlining the first WrestleMania, and becoming a cultural icon through media like “Rocky III” and “Hogan Knows Best.” His controversial moments, including a 2015 scandal involving racist remarks and a lawsuit against Gawker, also shaped his later years. He was active in politics, notably endorsing Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Hulk Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea ... passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71. His death was due to a heart attack, as confirmed by a Florida medical examiner’s report, with contributing factors including a history of atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Tributes followed from wrestling figures like Ric Flair, Triple H, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as well as public figures like Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who declared a “Hulk Hogan Day” in Florida, with flags flown at half-staff. Some posts on X speculated about undisclosed health issues, with one claiming his therapist suggested the death certificate might not fully reflect his condition, though no autopsy details have confirmed this.

News

American Gladiators: News

The latest news on American Gladiators centers around its reboot on Amazon Prime Video, announced in 2025. The revival is hosted by WWE superstar Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, with Rocsi Diaz as sideline reporter and Chris Rose on play-by-play.

The show features 16 new Gladiators—eight men and eight women, including bodybuilders, pro wrestlers, former Division I athletes, CrossFit champions, and military veterans. Notable names include AEW’s Wardlow and Kamille, former WWE wrestler Eric Bugenhagen (Rick Boogs), OVW’s Jessie Godderz (Mr. PEC-Tacular), and Jessica Roden (J-Rod).

The series will blend new events with classics like “Gauntlet,” “Hang Tough,” and “The Eliminator.” Two seasons have reportedly been filmed, though no premiere date is confirmed.

A 24/7 American Gladiators FAST channel with original episodes is also available on Prime Video, and a Live Nation tour is set for November 1 to December 21, 2025.

Concerns about potential tension between WWE and AEW talent were dismissed, with sources indicating professionalism on set. (Grok)

News

UFC Movie News

No other major UFC movie projects have been reported recently. Brawler stands out as the primary UFC-branded cinematic effort, leveraging the organization’s direct involvement and Snyder’s bold directorial style. Zack Snyder’s ‘Brawler’: Zack Snyder is directing a UFC-themed drama titled Brawler, in collaboration with UFC CEO Dana White and Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and owner of The Ring magazine. The film follows a young fighter from Los Angeles rising through the UFC ranks while battling personal struggles, aiming for a championship. Snyder is co-writing the screenplay with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad, and producing alongside Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller under their Stone Quarry banner. Filming may include real UFC events in Las Vegas and Riyadh, promising authenticity. No official cast or release date has been confirmed, but rumors suggest Adam Driver could lead, with potential cameos from UFC figures like Dana White, Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier. The film is expected to blend Snyder’s signature visual style—slow-motion, gritty combat—with a grounded, emotional narrative, potentially setting it apart from other MMA films like Warrior or the Road House remake. A release is tentatively eyed for 2026.

Dwayne Johnson’s ‘The Smashing Machine’: Directed by Benny Safdie for A24, this UFC film wrapped filming early in Vancouver. It focuses on MMA legend Mark Kerr, with Dwayne Johnson starring. Unlike Brawler, it’s a biographical drama, not a fictional story, and has no direct UFC organizational involvement. The film has generated buzz for its intense portrayal of Kerr’s life and career. No specific release date has been announced, but it’s expected to hit theaters soon given the completed production.

Other UFC-Related Projects: Former UFC fighter Keith Jardine has ventured into filmmaking, writing and directing a horror movie called Kill Me Again, which is currently in theaters. While not a UFC-centric film, Jardine’s MMA background ties it to the sport’s community. Additionally, a Jordan Peele-produced film Him features former UFC and PFL heavyweight Maurice Greene, indicating UFC fighters’ growing presence in Hollywood.

Sentiment on X: Posts on X reflect excitement for Brawler, with fans noting its potential for UFC fighter cameos and heavy promotion by the UFC. Some see it as a fresh, grounded direction for Snyder compared to his superhero and sci-fi work. There’s also chatter about UFC’s broader media moves, like a potential Netflix deal for TV rights, which could amplify projects like Brawler. (Grok)

New Cyberpunk Animated Series on Netflix

Based on the latest information available up to September 19, 2024, Netflix, in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, has confirmed the development of a new animated project within the Cyberpunk universe. Here's what we know:

Announcement: During Geeked Week, Netflix teased this new project, hinting at a "return to Night City," which suggests it will be set in the same universe as "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" and "Cyberpunk 2077."

Project Details: While it's confirmed to be set in the Cyberpunk universe, specifics like whether it will be a direct sequel or a new story entirely, akin to "Edgerunners" but with a different narrative or characters, remain undisclosed. There's been no confirmation if this is an "Edgerunners Season 2," though the nature of the announcement leaves room for speculation.

Reception and Context: The original "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" series was well-received, contributing to a surge in interest back towards "Cyberpunk 2077." This positive reception might influence the new project's direction, aiming to leverage the existing fanbase while expanding the universe's lore.

Teasers and Speculation: From posts on X (formerly Twitter), there's excitement and speculation among fans. The mention of "another animated series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe" and teases about exploring new stories in Night City suggest a continuation or expansion of the thematic elements fans enjoyed in "Edgerunners."

Release Information: As of now, no release date or further detailed plot information has been shared. Netflix and CD Projekt Red have promised more details at a later date, keeping the community in anticipation.

This new venture into the Cyberpunk animated series by Netflix represents a commitment to exploring more narratives within this dystopian world, potentially tapping into different aspects of Night City's lore, characters, or even new tech developments within its universe. While fans eagerly await more concrete details, the announcement itself has reignited discussions and excitement around what new stories might unfold in one of the most visually and narratively rich settings in recent sci-fi history.

Fans have particularly celebrated the fulfillment of Penelope's lifelong dream to be with Colin, highlighting emotional moments like their wedding and Penelope's voiceover in the final scene. Despite some criticism regarding the inclusion of certain scenes, the season's success is evident, with many expressing their ongoing affection for the characters and the show's romantic and dramatic elements.

Wednesday Season 2 First Look Revealed.

The latest on "Wednesday Season 2" includes a behind-the-scenes first look that was revealed as part of Netflix's Geeked Week celebrations, indicating the series will return in 2025. Here's what's known:

First Look: Fans have been treated to behind-the-scenes footage featuring the cast, including Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, providing a glimpse into what's coming in the new season. This footage emphasizes that Season 2 will be "bigger and more twisted," promising a deeper dive into the horror elements of the series,

Cast and Crew: Returning cast members include Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers, and more, under the direction of Tim Burton for at least part of the season. The show also features new cast members and promises to expand on the existing characters' stories.

Plot Teases: While specific plot details are being kept under wraps, Jenna Ortega has hinted at incredible set pieces, suggesting visually richer environments or significant events that might tie into unresolved cliffhangers from Season 1, like the transformation and fate of Tyler.

Themes and Tone: There's an indication that Season 2 will continue to focus on Wednesday's journey of self-discovery and her relationship dynamics, particularly her attempt to carve out her path away from her family's influence. Additionally, the emphasis will be on horror over romance, aligning with Ortega's comments about avoiding forced romantic narratives.

Production: Filming for Season 2 commenced in May 2024, with locations including Ireland, signaling a potentially broader or different setting for some of the storylines.

Release: The series is set to return in 2025, maintaining the suspense and anticipation among fans who are eager for more of Wednesday Addams's dark-hearted adventures at Nevermore Academy and beyond.

The excitement around "Wednesday" Season 2 is palpable, with fans and critics alike looking forward to how the series will expand on its established gothic universe while introducing new elements of horror and mystery. (Grok)

News

Based on the information available up to September 19, 2024, here are some updates and insights regarding Netflix:

Pricing and Plans: Netflix offers several subscription tiers, with the most basic ad-supported plan starting at $6.99 per month, which allows streaming on two devices in 1080p. The ad-free plans include Standard for $15.49 per month, which also supports streaming on two devices at 1080p, and Premium for $22.99 per month, which ups the ante to four simultaneous streams at 4K resolution. There's also an option to add extra member slots for an additional cost.

Content Updates: Netflix continues to add new TV shows, movies, and original content regularly. Recent or upcoming releases as of September 2024 include a variety of genres from survival dramas to supernatural horror, indicating Netflix's broad content strategy remains intact.

Event and Announcements: There was an event around the time of inquiry where Netflix planned to reveal updates on several highly anticipated series such as "One Piece Season 2", "Wednesday Season 2", "Black Mirror Season 7", "Squid Game Season 2", "Stranger Things", a "Devil May Cry" anime, and "Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2". This event underscores Netflix's commitment to both continuing popular series and exploring new avenues like anime.

User Interaction and Features: Netflix provides a service where content can be downloaded for offline viewing, which is particularly useful for viewers on the go or in areas with unreliable internet. The platform's user interface also includes features like profiles for kids with parental controls, and recommendations that improve with more viewing data.

Market Sentiment and Discussions: From X posts, there's considerable excitement and discussion around Netflix's content strategy, with users and media outlets focusing on new releases, price changes, and the platform's approach to both original content and licensed material.

Cost Considerations: There's mention in discussions about how Netflix's cost has nearly doubled for some users, reflecting the ongoing debate on the value of streaming services versus their cost, which might influence subscriber behavior and expectations for content quality and quantity.

Subscription Model: Netflix emphasizes its month-to-month subscription model, which allows users to cancel anytime without long-term contracts or cancellation fees, providing flexibility which is often appreciated in the dynamic streaming market.

Given these points, Netflix in 2024 continues to evolve, focusing on a diverse content library, enhancing user experience through technology and personalization, while facing the usual industry challenges like pricing satisfaction and content competition. The platform's strategy appears to blend global appeal with niche interests, aiming to cater to a broad audience while also pushing the boundaries with original programming. (Grok)

Media Man Editors: Massive few months for Netflix. Also mark down Terminator: Zero, The Queen Of The Villains and Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (November 2024). And don't forget WWE Raw hits Netflix in January 2025. And even the official WWE Vault YouTube channel has plugged Netflix, and specifically "Dump", while uploading some classic Japanese pro wrestling matches to their own platforms.

The big streamers have been cutting their original content output

 

Where did all the new shows go?

By Tom Jones

Seasons change

If you’ve been mindlessly scrolling through streaming services and have been feeling even less enthused than usual, you may not be entirely to blame: almost all major US streamers have been cutting their original TV output this year, according to new analysis from Variety.

From content monolith Netflix, which released 203 original shows in the first half of 2023 compared with 174 in H1 ‘24, to Disney+, which has halved its already-slim original TV library as it continues an apparent shift to quality over quantity, shrinkage has hit the streaming world hard. Indeed, of the 8 major streamers Variety studied from Luminate data, only Max and Peacock maintained their output level year over year.

All told, the number of original seasons fell 19% at the 8 streamers tracked.

For a while, it seemed we might float forever on an endless stream of new series, as companies competed to supply viewers who’d become accustomed to basking in the Golden Age of Television. However, the financial reality of producing content in an increasingly-competitive arena where margins are tight and churn rates are growing is becoming apparent.

It’ll be interesting to see how streamers’ original show libraries stack up in the latter half of this year compared to H2 2023, when original production tallies at some major players began to reflect the effects of the extended Hollywood strikes. (Credit: Chartr with Sherwood_

Netflix Netflix Q2 2024 Earnings
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wro9lCCgW0E

Netflix beats estimates as ad-supported memberships rise 34% from last year

Adds 8M Subscribers

278 million global subscribers

The streamer’s global paid memberships rose 16.5% year over year to 278 million. This marks one of the last updates Netflix will release regarding its membership numbers

Shareholder Letter:

“our biggest update in a decade.”

“This new interface provides more visible title information at a glance — including synopsis, genre and ratings”

“Title previews are also larger and more dynamic, with more immersive trailers and bigger box art to make browsing easier. We’ve also simplified the navigation bar and moved it to the top of the page to create quicker, easier short cuts. And this new design includes My Netflix, which has everything members have saved or watched and was previously only available on mobile.”

“The challenge for so many of our competitors is that while they are investing heavily in premium content, it’s generating relatively small viewing on their streaming services and linear continues to decline”

“we believe our biggest opportunity is winning a larger share of the 80%+ of TV time (primarily linear and streaming) that neither Netflix nor YouTube has today.”

“This has driven industry leading penetration, engagement and retention for us, which limits the benefit to Netflix of bundling directly with other streamers”

More Intel:

Netflix shares were down about 1.5% in extended trading following the earnings release.

Company performance per WSJ

Earnings per share: $4.88 vs $4.74 per share expected by LSEG

Revenue: $9.56 billion vs.9.53 billion expected by LSEG

Total memberships: 277.65 million global paid memberships vs. 274.4 million expected, per StreetAccount

Revenue was roughly $9.6 billion, up 17% compared to the same quarter last year, driven primarily by the increase in average paid memberships.

Netflix said it now expects full-year reported revenue growth of 14% to 15%, compared with previous guidance of 13% to 15%.

The company reported net income of $2.15 billion, or $4.88 per share, up from $1.49 billion, or $3.29 per share, during the second quarter of 2023.

Netflix’s global paid memberships rose 16.5% year over year to 278 million. This signals one of the last updates Netflix will release regarding its membership numbers.

Japanese Female Pro-Wrestling Drama Series ‘The Queen of Villains’ Premieres September 19

How did one woman whip Japan into a frenzy? Launching on September 19, The Queen of Villains unveils the story of Dump Matsumoto, the most terrifying “heel” during the golden age of women’s pro wrestling in Japan. Spanning five episodes, the series explores the events that led to her rise decades ago.

From the ‘70s to the ‘80s, female pro-wrestling tag teams like “Beauty Pair” (Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda) and “Crush Gals” (Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) became national icons. They captivated Japan not only by competing but also by singing and dancing in the ring. On the other side of this was Dump Matsumoto, the sworn rival of the “Crush Gals.” She made all of Japan her enemy, wreaking havoc in and outside of the ring. But once upon a time, young Dump Matsumoto was told she was too kind to be a villain. What events made her one of the most disliked figures in Japanese wrestling history?

Bringing these iconic female wrestlers to life is a talented cast chosen through auditions:

Multi-talented comedian Yuriyan Retriever portrays Dump Matsumoto.

Erika Karata (Desert of Namibia) plays Chigusa Nagayo, who starts as a failed wrestling trainee but eventually rises to stardom.

Ayame Goriki (Watashi ga Ore no Jinsei?!) portrays Lioness Asuka, known for being the most athletic and technical wrestler among her peers.

The renowned Osamu Suzuki developed, wrote, and produced the series. After hearing Matsumoto talk about the women’s pro wrestling era on his show, Suzuki was inspired to turn her story into a series and wrote the screenplay himself.

#TheQueenofVillains

Logline: The Queen of Villains unveils the untold story of Dump Matsumoto, a professional wrestler who ignited a boom in women's wrestling in the 1980s with her cult-like following. Unlike the iconic “Crush Gals” duo, Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka, Matsumoto made her mark as the most famous heel. Dominating television screens, they became a cultural phenomenon, captivating Japan. (Credit: Netflix)

Media Man: Pumped for Dump. We used to bring in VHS tapes of Dump and her associates into Australia in the late 80s and early 90s. One of the greatest women pro wrestlers of all time. The killer heel and queen bee of the ring. Netflix makes a killer and smart move in delivering this gem to the global audience. This will more than satisfy the cast majority of pro wrestling and fight fans, and we as those who love the hero vs villain scenario - a base of storytelling. Shakespearean and a beautiful violence. This is pop culture history.
