TNA star Kurt Angle has signed on for a lead role in a dramatic pilot titled "Emergency: LA". Angle would be playing a LAPD Sgt, Gabe Mandell.

The pilot will be shot shortly and then shopped to networks for a potential pick-up.

The premise for the potential series: "Emergency:LA revolves around the Fictional Emergency services based out of Station 77 of the LA City Fire Department, Downtown LA district of the LAPD and the Emergency Hospital treatment center Trauma One. The series will focus on the day to day activities, rescues, investigations and treatments, that take place in the respective environments as well as the personal lives of the characters that inhabit them."

Former UK wrestling promoter Len Davies (who moved on from wrestling to move into the Hollywood world several years back) is writing, directing and producing the pilot, which will be shot in 4K, an Ultra High Definition content.

Former WWE and TNA star Katarina Leigh (Winter/Katie Lea Burchill) has also booked a role in the pilot.
