Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling – Episode 1

This is an absolutely disgusting idea for a reality television show. I was told that I love trashy television, and I guess this is the best example of that.
The idea behind this show is for Hulk Hogan and friends to turn some D list celebrities (actually, some of these are worse) into workable pro wrestlers. It’s definitely going to be business exposing.
Here’s a list of the competitors.
- Dennis Rodman
- Trishelle from the Real World
- Dustin Diamond (Screech)
- Danny Bonaduce
- Nikki Ziering (Steve Sanders’ ex-wife)
- Butterbean
- Tiffany (yes, the pop star)
- Erin Murphy (Tabitha on Bewitched)
- Todd Bridges (Whatchu talkin’ ’bout Willis?)
- Frank Stallone (Sly’s bro)
The rest of the cast includes Brutus Beefcake and Brian Knobbs as coaches, Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and Jimmy “The Mouth Of The South” Hart. Hogan says wrestling is an art form.
The coaches will teach the wrestlers three moves every week and they will be judged on technical ability and showmanship and they will be judged as a team. Someone will be sent him from the losing team. Hogan showed the championship belt and said it would go to the single winner, and Bonduce says he “coveted” it.
