As thought the rumored Hulk Hogan/Eric Bischoff promotion has turned out to be false, but not completely. Instead of a traditional wrestling promotion the pair are working on a "Celebrity Wrestling" show, a concept first done in the UK with Joe Legend and D'Lo Brown.

The idea is to take celebrities and put them through several wrestling/gladiator style challenges. This new American version is thought to have more of a Tough Enough element than the UK show which flopped big time.

Both Hogan and Bischoff are using their TV contacts to get a deal with a big network. I'd assume VH-1.

This will not be direct competition with WWE and is more a capitalization on the American Gladiators audience, with a wrestling crossover. The pair know they could never take on WWE straight away and whenever Hogan mentions such a thing, he's probably just looking for another WWE payout as I mentioned before.

Firstly it was axed in the UK because it was shit and barely had anything to do with wrestling. Fans who watch wrestling want wrestling, that's why they are fans, not some celeb gladiators crap.

Secondly you're talking out of your ass. Try coming to a UK footie match you'll go crying home, Reserved pffft!

Fuck all that noise. What Hulk needs to be doing, now that he's divorced, is a show called Headlock of Love ala Flavor of Love and Rock of Love on VH1.
