iliketurtles Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Notice how it's November 1st...no Red Sox/Yanks to worry about anymore.
SuperJerk Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Hey, if they wanna saturate the market, that's their business. Literally.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Who wants to bet Smackdown has a ppv on october 30th. Making 2 ppvs in 3 days.
Mole Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Wow the Raw rating is increasing. Why is this?
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Ratings always picks up on the road to Mania.
KingPK Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 That, and the HHH-Batista storyline is actually keeping people tuned in for once.
Guest Phenom Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Does this make it 16 PPVs now? Crap, man. That's $560 a year!
Eclipse Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Surprisingly, NO ONE has mentioned Celebrity Wrestling... Depending if the celebs amount to something, this show is either gonna suck or gonna be good. But most likely...it's gonna suck.
Mole Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Surprisingly, NO ONE has mentioned Celebrity Wrestling... Depending if the celebs amount to something, this show is either gonna suck or gonna be good. But most likely...it's gonna suck. I have no idea what you are talking about. Explain.
Guest Dazed Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 - The BBC has an article up on a new ITV reality show called "Celebrity Wrestling." The show will feature celebs trying to become wrestlers and will have Roddy Piper, D-Lo Brown, and Joe E. Legend involved as trainers. Check out the article here. This will be largely meaningless to international people, but here you go: - The 6 guys are Ex Eastender Marc Bannerman, James Hewitt, Olivia Skeete, Mark Speight, Iwan Thomas and Jeff Brazier. The 6 girls are Michelle Heaton, Kate Lawler, Annabel Croft, Leilani Dowding, Jenny Powell and Victoria Silstedt - Our combat wont always be restricted to the four roped walls of a traditional ring as some of the games feature an eight foot drop from the main podium while others take place inside a five metre square cage. - This is wrestling as its never been done before with the celebrities being taught real skills to win real bouts. - The show is presented by Kate Thornton and WWF legend Rowdy Roddy Piper - D-Lo Brown’s six celebrity crusaders will do battle against Joe Legend’s six warriors. Looks like it's going to be typical Saturday Evening aimed-at-the-family-but-only-appealing-to-kids-and-those-who-like-car-crash-TV fare. It'll be patronising and laughing at wrestling. Not that wrestling has a great image anyway, but let's just make it into a mainstream joke.

Not that wrestling has a great image anyway, but let's just make it into a mainstream joke. I really don't know why, but damnit I'm going to watch this show! Heard of six of the 12, ahem, 'celebs' which I don't think is too bad going. Who is Marc Bannerman in 'enders? This is gonna suck so so bad...
Mole Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I wouldn't even call those people C-Celebs. They fall into the D catagory.

Gianni Di Marco (1998-2000)
King Cucaracha Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I wouldn't even call those people C-Celebs. They fall into the D catagory. Welcome to UK reality TV.
nl5xsk1 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I wouldn't even call those people C-Celebs. They fall into the D catagory. Welcome to UK reality TV. Unlike America, where we pride ourselves on quality reality TV ... oh, gotta run, Surreal Life 4 is starting!
ChrisMWaters Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 There's only one way I would have watched that UK Wrestling reality show... If they got Rowan Atkinson to somehow be a participant for it. That would have been great to see.
Guest krazykat72 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Wow the Raw rating is increasing. Why is this? Because there's no more Monday night Football -Paul Jacobi-
algrim Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Does this make it 16 PPVs now? Crap, man. That's $560 a year! 17, if you count that ECW PPV. Apparently ,Vince didn't learn from last year's Taboo Tuesday. OY!!
Mystery Eskimo Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Iwan Thomas the 400m runner? Weird. Apparently Oliver Skeete is a show jumper. Maybe he could use a horse in the ring as his gimmick. This looks phenomenly bad. I will probably watch it.
AndrewTS Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 This reminds me--what C/D-list celebrities do you folks suppose are going to be at Mania?
Promoter Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 I think we might see Vince and his family Aren't they the stars now as Vince said a few years back I guess that would be Z celebrities.
Taker666 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Wow the Raw rating is increasing. Why is this? Because Raw has been really good latly?
