Hulk's new show a battle of celeb freakazoids

And you thought Bubba the Love Sponge Clem was the biggest knucklehead involved with Hulk Hogan's new celebrity wrestling competition?Hogancelebwrestlingcast1_3

Turns out, Clem's work as play by play announcer may be the least colorful aspect of CMT's Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling, following the announcement of a cast that reads like a who's who of celebrity dysfunction:

There's tattooed and bejeweled NBA freakazoid Dennis Rodman; ex-Saved by the Bell and sex tape star Dustin Diamond, Diff'rent Strokes actor and ex-addict Todd Bridges; Partridge Family star and police magnet Danny Bonaduce; faded '80s pop star Tiffany; celebrity brother Frank Stallone; Playboy playmate Nikki Ziering; Bewitched actor Erin Murphy; heavyweight boxer ButterBean; and perpetual reality TV participant Trishelle Cannatella.

The celebs will be split into two teams and coached by ex-pros Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Brian "Nasty Boy" Nobs. They learn three new moves each week, culminating with a match and an ejection after the match ends.

The whole celebrity-crazed, steroid-fueled craziness hits TV screen Oct. 18 on CMT. I feel my IQ points dropping even as I type these words about it.

Anyone else here see a movie named, "Idiocracy"? You really should and then you'd understand the attraction of shows like this one . . .

God - what an awful freak show.

TV programming is real low and going lower each season.

What do I need to watch this - two brain cells?

Seems obvious to me, from the number of comments on the page, that people are interested in the subject.

And frankly, I love writing blog posts complaining about some of the bad TV out there. Seems to me, it would only be a free advertisement if I said the show would be wonderful, which I haven't said....

"I feel my IQ points dropping even as I type these words about it."

Then, with all due respect, why write about it? Why provide free advertising to shows like this which contribute mightily to the dumbing down of America?

bobbert

Freakazoid or Sleazeoid? You be the judge. When Hogan and Bubba are in the same room it brings the average IQ down to close to zero; and, the sleaze factor up around 100%.

Hilarious Stuff If Nothing Else

Hopefully, they will let Nick Hogan be the official driver for everyone.

That should put an end to this nonsense.

kris

Eric let us know how you really feel. Jeesh.

Either way, I hope Skreech gets his head torn off by everyones favorite roid raging ginger.

Fortunately, with what the Hogan family has been coming out with, it should'nt be much longer before we will no longer be hearing about this fine family.
