Actor Tyler Posey (“Teen Wolf”) chatted about starring in the new action film “Queen of the Ring,” which was written and directed by Ash Avildsen.
The synopsis is: In a time when professional wrestling for women was illegal all over the country, a small town single mother named Mildred Burke (played by Emily Bett Rickards) embraces the danger to change culture as she dominates America’s most masculine sport to become the first million dollar female athlete in history.
Tyler Posey plays the role of G. Bill Wolfe in this new wrestling film. The character is the son of promoter extraordinaire Billy Wolfe (Josh Lucas), and he was an unsung hero of the Golden Age of women’s wrestling.
He is a complicated character who is caught between his father, the business, his extended family, and the female wrestlers.
