Hulk Hogan’s new reality show, Celebrity Championship Wrestling, will debut on CMT this summer. The show will be a competition between ten “celebrities” who will wrestle each other throughout the course of 10 episodes until only one remains. The contestants include two surprises and the following C-Listers:

– Todd Bridges (TV’s Different Strokes & Everybody Hates Chris)
– Butterbean (boxer & fighter)
– Dustin Diamond (Saved by the Bell)
– Erin Murphy (Tabitha from TV’s Bewitched)
– Frank Stallone (Sylvester Stallone’s brother)
– Tiffany (80s pop star)
– Nikkie Ziering (former Playboy model)
– Trishelle (Real World)

Perhaps funnier than any given episode is the show’s press release from On Camera Audience:

Think about it for a minute. Seriously. How long have you waited to see 80’s music sensation Tiffany perform a pile driver on The Real World’s Trishelle? Up close. For free. This show is going to make all of your reality television dreams come true in what might be the most entertaining new reality show of the season!


I have thought about it and I’m giddy in some morbid kind of way. My money (and hope) is on Butterbean kicking the crap out of everyone.

While Hulk is filming his “show”, son Nick will remain in jail as his attempt at serving punishment under house arrest was denied. To celebrate, he and his legal team sued the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Monday for violation of privacy, after his phone conversations were leaked to the public. For the record, all phone conversations in jail are indeed “public”.
