Guest Dazed Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
