**Wrestlicious** was an American [women's professional wrestling](/source/Women's_professional_wrestling) [promotion](/source/Professional_wrestling_promotion) based in Tampa, Florida. The company was founded by Jonathan Vargas, who won a [Powerball](/source/Powerball) jackpot of [$](/source/United_States_dollar)35.3 million in 2008.[2] It was known for its [sketch comedy](/source/Sketch_comedy) and has been often compared to [Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling](/source/Gorgeous_Ladies_of_Wrestling). In 2011, [Bleacher Report](/source/Bleacher_Report) ranked Wrestlicious No. 11 on its list of the 25 worst wrestling promotions.[3]

## History

Former Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling host and producer Johnny Cafarella and [Jimmy Hart](/source/Jimmy_Hart) partnered with Jonathan Vargas. In March 2009, a trailer was released promoting Wrestlicious. Originally rumored as airing on [Fox Network](/source/Fox_Broadcasting_Company) in fall 2009, the *Wrestlicious Takedown* series eventually aired in syndication beginning in March 2010. Throughout 2010, Wrestlicious signed several new wrestlers (to replace many of the women that had worked for them during the original 2008 tapings and were now unavailable), and then taped new matches beginning in May 2010 to air on *Takedown*. However, no new content has been made since.

It was announced on March 27, 2010 that *Wrestlicious TakeDown* will begin airing on many television stations throughout the United States starting around April 1 and May 1, 2010.[4]

Vargas appeared on the show as "JV Rich". Regular features included "JV's CRIB", a look at the goings-on inside JV's mansion frequented by the Wrestlicious girls.

After one season, Wrestlicious stopped production. Several of the talents went on to work for [WWE](/source/WWE), [TNA Wrestling](/source/Total_Nonstop_Action_Wrestling), and other companies.

## Wrestlicious TakeDown

*Wrestlicious TakeDown* was the Main Television program produced by Wrestlicious which ran on [Dish Network](/source/Dish_Network), via [MavTV](/source/MavTV) in the United States and [BiteTV](/source/BiteTV) in Canada, as well as in syndication. The first season consists of 13 episodes.[5] *Wrestlicious TakeDown* began airing on Mondays, with its first episode airing on March 1, 2010[6] However, it was announced the following Thursday on March 4, 2010, that the show would be moving to Wednesdays.[7] On May 16, 2011, it was announced that Wrestlicious would return to begin a second season,[8] though no second season was ever produced or released.
