Hulk Hogan's CCW: Week 2

Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling has made it to its second week, which means we each lost ten dollars to the other, both taking the under on that bet. It seems the gripping drama and character development from the first week caused some serious word-of-mouth and people came back for more. That, or the batteries went out in the remote while everyone was watching Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team 3. Either way, we're still here.

This episode saw the squad, sans Tiffany, learning three new moves: the headlock take down, schoolboy, and shoulder tackle. Pair those with the three from last week (forearm smash, clothesline, kick to mid-section) and you've got more moves than your typical Hulk Hogan match. Better watch out, Hulkster...they're comin' for you, brother.

There was a minor conflict this week, as Team Beefcake was worried that Danny Bonaduce was missing practice and might not learn all of those moves. What was he doing that caused him to flake out? Well, his daily radio show. That's right. Bonaduce is the pariah because he has regular work. Yeah, we're dealing with high caliber talent here.

The matches for this week were a simple tag match for Team Beefcake, with heels Trishelle and Bonaduce facing off against the faces of Todd Bridges and Butterbean. Team Nasty rolled out something similar, but since they were a man up on their "competition," Dennis Rodman served as the manager for the face team of Nikki Ziering and Frank Stallone. Rodman was initially going to have jobs swapped with Stallone, but the Worm found out that a diving clothesline is less fun and games, and more rotator cuff injury.


Frank should have hoped for the original plan, because, presumably after a coin toss, the judges decided that Team Beefcake had the better and Team Nasty was going to send someone packin'. And who got kicked? You guessed it. Frank Stallone.

Find your way to CMT tonight at 8/7c and catch episode 3 (we guess) unless you have something better to do, like amateur dental work.
