Hogan & Bischoff's Wrestling Project Gets The Green Light!

[Outsiders]

For weeks we've been hearing that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are on the verge of launching a new celebriy pro wrestling TV project. We can now confirm that the series has been picked up by cable TV channel CMT and has a name - "Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Wrestling."

 

The first season will be 8 episodes and then a live 2-hour finale. Filming will begin for the series around June or July in the Los Angeles area. The casting search has begun for "adventurous celebrities" that will train for pro wrestling and can settle their scores in the ring.

 

No word yet on when the series will debut, but based on the filming schedule, it seems like a fall debut makes sense. Hulk Hogan and Bischoff-Hervey Productions are listed as producers for the series.

Since when did CMT become another wasteland for all of the horrendous reality TV programs? First MTV, then VH1, now CMT. Damn it.

 

As for the project, I wish these shows (all of them) would stop using the tag "celebrity" because we know there will be no celebrity within 25 channels of this mess. Celebrities are busy working and don't have time to do trainwreck shows like this one.

This gives Chyna a shot at getting back into wrestling. We'll get to see all the people with reality shows on VH1 on this. Flavor Flav vs. Bret Michaels.

I think they're all owned by CBS. They can afford to do this w/ all of that CSI syndication money in their grubby little mitts.

 

Mr. Hogan, there is a gentleman named X-Pac holding on line 1...
