Here's my pitch to the Networks: Another reality television show!
A Blogger EXTRA **** You know, some of the craziest shows on television are also the most popular. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fallen stardom of people on there or just curiosity. In any event, there's "Dancing with the Stars", and "Celebrity Skating on Ice". Now, I hope CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX or any of the cable networks take notice of my idea here and write me a check...I don't want to turn on the TV in six months and stumble across this show by mistake! After somewhat of a slump, Pro Wrestling is starting to slowly turn itself around again. How would you like to see some of your old favorites grapple in the squared circle? The only catch is, everyone involved including the "Stars" and wrestlers have recently made the news with some kind of addiction or eating disorder! The working title is, Wrestling with Demons because almost everyone involved here has been in some kind of rehab or therapy more than once. Here's a listing of some people that should be waiting for their telephone to ring:- Jake "The Snake" Roberts: One time WWE Superstar who still wrestles the independent circuit when he's able to find the strength to get out of bed or even show up at all. Most recently was ejected from a show for being drunk and was carrying crack cocaine.
- Mary Kate Olsen: Turning 18 and being attached to a twin for her whole career was too much to handle. Of course, that resulted in Anorexia.
- Lindsey Lohen: Same as above.
- Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake: When his star burned out, so did he. Went from the WWE to selling tokens on the subway. Was recently picked up in Boston with Oxycontin and Crack.
- Danny Bonaduce: Too many visits to rehab to mention here. Supposedly "clean", and supposedly hosting the 2006 TVLand Awards. Too many other failed TV projects to add insult to injury. Very unstable.
- Jim Helwig A.K.A. "The Ultimate Warrior": Years of steroid abuse and an addiction to painkillers has resulted in a person that is dillusional. He still talks crazy and has even changed his name legally to "Warrior". Has a child by the name "Little Warrior". Doesn't wrestle anymore. Recently unsuccessfully tried to block the release of a DVD by the WWE that he says, "ruined his reputation".
Charlie Sheen: Sure, he's got a successful show with "Two and a half Men", but Charlie's no stranger when it comes to rehab. Considering CBS is shuffling his show around to different days and times, and an unstable, questionable, marriage makes for an unstable Charlie!
That's all for now...I hope to see this on TV soon!
