It actually looks a lot more enjoyable than I envisioned.

 

[Lensen]

I've watched about one hour of TV wrestling in 18 months, but I'd watch this.

Yeah.

Would be good for a laugh. Dunno about 'cool' as people have mentioned.

Can see a lot of these C grade celebs taking the piss then copping a lot of punishment.

If they some how managed to get a bra and panties match between Punky Brewster and Sixx i'd enjoy that.

 

[Virgil]

Yeah.

And you still don't think that this will be cool?

 

[Cleavy]

Team Beefcake vs Team Nasty! Yeah!

 

[George_A_Romero]

rofl @ the thought of butterbean vs willis from diffrent strokes

 

[Forrest Gimp]

Knobs was a notoriously stiff worker. I wonder if he actually hurts anyone during training? Also, I know Brutus and Knobs are Hogan's mates and all, but couldn't they get someone a little better to train?

edit: LMAO @ the celebs... Screech?!?! hahaha

Dustin Diamond aka Screech had a go at celebrity boxing. He has filled out since SBTB and flogged the crap out of Ron Pallillo, Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter.

Here's the Press Release:

LOS ANGELES September 23, 2008 The legendary Hulk Hogan returns to the ring as the host and judge of CMT's new series HULK HOGAN'S CELEBRITY CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING, premiering Saturday, October 18 at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT on CMT. The cast of 10 celebrity wrestling hopefuls will find themselves put to the test as they master the ring and their competitors during their attempts to turn themselves into professional-quality wrestlers.

Hogan, along with former World Championship Wrestling President Eric Bischoff and professional wrestling manager Jimmy Hart will team up to judge the contestants including former NBA champion Dennis Rodman, "Bewitched" actress Erin Murphy, Playboy playmate Nikki Ziering, "Different Strokes" actor Todd Bridges, Super Heavyweight boxer ButterBean, reality TV star Trishelle Cannatella, "Saved by the Bell"s Dustin Diamond, actor, boxer and recording artist Frank Stallone, pop sensation Tiffany, and reality TV star and radio host Danny Bonaduce -- as they compete for the title of "Celebrity All Star Heavyweight Champion." The contestants must all exhibit their top physical and showmanship skills in the ring if they don't want to be deemed a "Jabroni" (a fake, phony, or fool) by Hulk Hogan and kicked out of the competition.

The contestants will be split into two teams and coached by former professional wrestlers Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Brian "Nasty Boy" Knobs. "Team Beefcake" and "Team Nasty" are required to learn three new moves each week and perform in front of a live audience where they are judged on technical ability and showmanship, both as individuals and as team players. Each match will see the two teams fight to prevent their possibility of elimination from the competition. When the match is over, someone will be eliminated and sent home.

As the contestants learn in episode one, performing like a professional wrestler requires intense conditioning. Hulk Hogan sizes each contestant up and gives them their first assignment- to master classic wrestling moves known as "The Clothesline," "The Forearm Smash," and the "Kick to the Midsection." The two teams spend the first couple days practicing with trainers and each other perfecting the intricate choreography, athleticism, and showmanship necessary for the match in front of a live audience. By the time they reach the ring for the first battle, between the screaming crowd and the judges, both teams are as fired up as true wrestling veterans.
---------
3 moves each week? They'll have more moves than Hulk in no time!

 

[Mentallo]

This has the makings of one of the most entertainings shows i have watched in years.
I wonder if Knobs will teach his patented "Pit Stop" move to his team of chargers.
Cannot wait!!!!!

 

[Altum Volantes]

haha Knobbs and Beefcake.

 

[Cleavy]

1st episode wasn't too bad. Would have been better if they showed a bit more of the training aspects, but we'll probably get more of that as they eliminate people. Having 2 matches on the show meant less time for training footage as well.

 

[Lensen]

It was cheesy as all hell but infinitely more interesting than anything TNA or WWE has done on TV lately.

except for the Honk-a-meter.

 

[Cleavy]

Still makes me laugh when Hulk says "You're a jabroni, get out of my ring!" at elimination.

 

[Cleavy]

3 moves this week: side-headlock takedown, schoolboy rollup, and shoulder tackle.

 

[Virgil]

Where do you watch this Cleavy? I haven't been able to find it .
