Hulk Hogan wants celebrities to wrestle

by Bob Sassone, posted May 2nd 2008 3:04PM

Hulk HoganThis idea could be great (like MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch come to life) or it could be the stupidest thing ever. I'm guessing it's somewhere in between.

CMT has announced that Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling will debut this fall. The show will pit two celebrities against each other, and they are trained for the match by former wrestlers. Hogan himself will act as one of the judges. Hogan is becoming quite the media king. Besides this show he hosts NBC's American Gladiators and has the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best. By the way, this show was co-created by Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey, who played Wayne on The Wonder Years.

I can assume that when they say "celebrities" that it's a safe bet we won't see Julia Roberts or George Clooney in the ring. I would guess it would lean more towards Dustin Diamond, Tonya Harding, and whatever reality show has been from The Bachelor or Temptation Island needs a paycheck that week.

I can't wait...and they won't being doing advanced moves like a piledriver...it wil be basics like a bodslam and how to take a fall and sell the moves. I figure it will be a lot like tough enough (the wwe reality show a few years back)...and i liked that show.

Hey, Celebrity Boxing hit big when they made... oh, two episodes.

Well, in fairness, CMT is known for its awful shows, and they don't seem to care at all about ratings. They piggyback off of Viacom's money, I'm guessing. No one watches it.

This is a potentially terrible idea. Wrestling can be so dangerous it's not even funny. Do a "fake" piledriver the wrong way and you'll snap your neck.

Hulk must really need the money bad to pitch a stupid idea like this.
