Reply to comment by AnalAttackProbe in Tulsa King With Sylvester Stallone Was Originally Set in Kansas City by dedemovie

Plenty of organized crime in Tulsa and OKC, too. The idea that someone is just going to waltz in and take over Tulsa because it's just a podunk backwater town is laughable.

Well if you actually watched the show you'd see he isn't taking over Tulsa or anything like that.

IMDB:

>Following his release from prison, mafia capo Dwight "The General" Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters.

Wikipedia:

>Dwight "The General" Manfredi is a New York Mafia capo who just completed a 25-year prison sentence. Upon release, his boss sends him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to establish criminal operations there. Not knowing anyone in the area, The General seeks a new crew to help establish his empire.

Which is pretty much what the first episode was all about. It's a silly premise if you are even vaguely aware of how active organized crime is in cities of the "flyover" states.

Now, if the show was called "Lawton King" or "Muskogee King," that would be an interesting premise.

I mean, if you just read the IMDb plot, it sounds like that. The shows two weeks old, dude. Chill out. Lol

He's almost certainly going to butt heads with the local bosses.
