Hulk Hogan's CCW: week 3

If this is some sort of prank perpetrated by CMT, it's been a good one, but we can call it off now.  Seriously.  I get it.  Oh, we get a bunch of washed up actors and other no-need-to-be-famous people and make them wrestle for a meaningless belt.  Ha ha ha.  You really had us going for a while that you meant to air this show to its conclusion.  But it's gone to far.

Hello?

Alright, we tried.  Apparently this isn't a joke, and we are now facing the fourth episode of Celebrity Championship Wrestling.  Let's get you caught up on what happened last week.

The main thrust of this show was for the celebrities(?) to come up with an in-ring persona, apart from being completely inept.  We finally got to see a little bit of Jimmy Hart, as he was commissioned as the one to help this bunch form good characters.

Hart took them to a wardrobe and had them go through and use the costumes as a way to jump start some ideas.  Really all this meant was for the guys to look like idiots and the girls to wear as little as possible.  And for Danny Bonaduce to just be crazy.

Yeah, you're pretty much doing it right.

It seems we're finally getting to the point where these jabronies know it's not going to be some cakewalk.  Hulk Hogan got in the ring with some of them during their training and showed just how much you can do with a limited move set.  They worked on collar and elbow tie-ups, working the arm, and working fast food, so they'll be able to leave the show with a valuable library of skills.

Honestly, the matches this week.  Rodman wrestled, having magically healed after just half a show.  Everyone seemed to get into character and played to the crowd pretty well.  But, as is life in this pressure cooker, one of these jokers is sent packing.  Sorry Erin Murphy, but no amount of witchcraft can keep you in that ring this week.  Looks like now you can add a third sentence to the "post-Bewitched" section of your Wikipedia page.

For real, there are only two sentences there.
