The WWE Studios feature centers on a fight promoter (Feuerstein) deeply in debt to his crooked rival.

Desperate for a new fighter who will help him win back everything he owes, the promoter catches a break when a 450-pound church handyman (Wight) who has spent his entire life in an orphanage agrees to wrestle on behalf of his fellow orphans. Hardin runs the orphanage with a nun (Wendie Malick). The trio embark on a road trip to enter the fighter in a wrestling competition.

Rebecca Creskoff (HBO's "Hung"), Dennis Farina and Saul Rubinek have booked supporting roles. Lester Speight ("Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay") and Bobb'e J. Thompson ("Role Models") round out the cast.

Michael Watkins is directing.

Hardin, who made her directorial debut this year with the indie feature "You," is best known for her work on NBC's "The Office." She most recently appeared on the big screen in "17 Again."

Feuerstein stars in USA's "Royal Pains," which has been picked up for a second season. Wight recently wrapped shooting "MacGruber."
