This fall, stars will throw down and show off their wrestling skills in the upcoming reality series, Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling, on CMT.

Per the Reporter, the series will feature celebs competing in various events, including working a crowd, learning difficult wrestling maneuvers and (perhaps the best of the bunch) trash talking. Not mentioned as of yet are spandex-wearing and body-slamming — but there's bound to be plenty of that, too. Each contestant will be judged by Hulk Hogan, former World Championship Wrestling president Eric Bischoff and professional wrestling manager Jimmy Hart.

The clincher for Hulk's new series is the group that's signed on so far. Celebs set to compete include Dustin Diamond ("Screech"), Dennis Rodman, reality-series-must-have Danny Bonaduce, former popstress Tiffany, Diff'rent Strokes' Todd Bridges (aka Willis) and Playboy Playmate Nikki Ziering, among others. The question remaining, then, is who's going to get their butt kicked first? — Anna Dimond

"Celebrities"? The most overused word in the dictionary.

Considering what's been in the news and what Mr. Bollea said on the tapes while talking with his son, everybody should shun anything to do with him or his family. Any monies earned from this show should go to the family of the young man who was a passenger in Nick Bollea's car and who is now and probably always will be a vegetable.

I happen to live in the viewing area where Nick Bollea is currently serving his jail time. Everything that's going on with him and his family is on the local news every night. What a cry baby! He wanted to be put on "House Arrest", because he's realizing jail's no fun. I'm sure that his passenger, who's suffered permanent brain damage, would love to trade places with Nick. This guy's in the VA Hospital and will probably be there the rest of his life.

I, too, am hoping that the passenger's family go after every single dime Hulk makes for the rest of his life.

agree totally with mircat, any funds from this show should go to the young victim of Hulk's sons's ignorance and stupidity.

The lesson to learn from the crash is to always put on your seat belt. That's why one person is in jail and the other is in a hospital for the rest of his life.

Was the other kid forced to get in the car? He had to know he was getting in the car with a spoiled rich kid.
