Lottery Winner Squanders Winnings on Soon-to-Fail Wrestling Venture


jayvargasAfter becoming the youngest Powerball winner two years ago, Jay Vargas, now 21-years-old has relocated to Tampa Bay intent on making his dream of being in the wrestling business come true. After winning a $17 million lump sum, Vargas didn’t just squander his money, “I don’t have the temptation to go out and buy 15 cars or 50 houses, or a big mansion with 50-plus rooms… I just want to be comfortable,” he said.

Instead, he’s living in a modest home in New Tampa with his wife and setting his mind (and money) towards making an epic new TV show. The show, called “Wrestlicious” is a combination “MAD TV + the WWE + Baywatch + Dave Chappelle = Wrestlicious,” according to Vargas. Primarily though it’s just attractive women in various tight outfits.

Vargas also appears as “J.V. Rich” the rapper-owner of the “Wrestlicious.”

Tampa is apparently the home to many wrestlers which is why he made his home there. Working with famed wrestling promoter Jimmy Hart, they’ve already shot a pilot and are shopping it around to the networks to find it a place to air. I don’t see how it can fail…

Seems like a smart way to spend your millions of dollars, sigh.

    I love the Army chick with the ill-fitted dress and man voice.

    I hope this is a success. Best to the people running the show.
