Re: Celebrity Championship Wrestling: Hulk Hogan's new pet project
So from week 2's episode aired on CMT:
The participants were taught three new wrestling moves,
1) Headlock Takedown
2) Schoolboy
3) Shoulder Tackle
Bonaduce takes off from training and does his radio show. In fact, he skips training altogether. However, he comes back after his show and learn the moves quickly.
Before any of the moves were taught, the contestants are required to jump 30 feet off scaffolding onto a giant inflatable stunt pad. Looks pretty basic to me. All they had to do was jump with back facing the mat. However, they were not taught the "proper" way to jump and Trishelle, Erin Murphy and I think someone else too landed horribly wrong. They landed on their feet from 30 feet which was bad.
Frank Stallone was the only one who did not jump. Afraid of heights. Frank had second and third thoughts and decided to just step down. Oh well, moving on to the show.
So when the program started, Erin Murphy was shown just dishing out somewhat logical arguments to Bonaduce/Butterbean/Rodman. She asked why they did not just do those three moves they were taught on week 1 but they decided to do more. To which Erin ended up on the losing team last week and one of the contestants was let go.
The tag team matches were just meh.
The hottest picks in the ring left to be fired at the end of the episode were Erin and Frank Stallone. They let Frank go and I think Trishelle will be out soon. Erin might be retained to spice up the programming further.
