So I'm guessing this won't be on TV or mentioned at all in the US? Also only 4 contestants? Seems like it'd make for a pretty short show. Cool concept though, wish Jody Fleisch could be part of it.

Technically three contestants - the Blossom Twins are being treated as one contestant.

The advert for the show - a lot of abs.

Well if its treated like a boot camp, I could see it playing out that, instead of an elimination every week all contestants go to the end where whoever has consistently done the best wins the show and the contract. I'm only guessing though.

I know the UK got a lot more to offer than cruiserweights and twins.

It starts tomorrow, interesting to see what it's like. Borash was putting over how because it's a British show, they're allowed to use chart music on it.

It was an interesting programme. You can very much tell that it's staged with several Rockstar Spud moments... {Spoiler}1: He punches Marty Scurll in the limo 2: They allow Spud to train after having gone on an all-night bender 3: Rocco puts him through after he and Marty don't allow him ANY offence I also got annoyed by nearly every second of the show, especially the first episode, being filled with chart music just because Borash discovered he could use some. But still, for what it is, it's a fun programme that gives good airtime to four wrestlers I've watched live for a while, and I'll be watching again next week. Plus I got a few seconds of screentime in the PROGRESS Wrestling segment.

I just watched the first two episodes. It has a weird vibe to it. It's the kind of scripted reality that's big right now, and some of it is a quite cringeworthy.
I guess they want us to root for the Blossoms because Spud and Marty are so incredibly irritating (although is Marty supposed to come off as irritating? I know Spud is playing the bad guy but I think they want Marty to seem cool, which isn't working for me). The Blossoms seem nice but they're incredibly wooden when they talk. I've only seen bits and pieces of all four in the ring previously, and they haven't really shown much on the show yet.
It was good enough to watch again.

This show screams reality TV show staging
Also I'm a big fan of Spud, I can see a lot of IWC members bitching about his height

Been a fan of Spud for years. I do like the Blossom Twins, but I favour Spud. Marty just seems like a completely arrogant 'TOWIE'-esque wanker.

It was weird and a bit overly staged (I know it's weird for wresting fans to complain something isn't "real" but whatever). I'll keep watching though.
Also Rockstar Spud is the worst name I've ever heard.

Fun episode this week, though they did come off looking a bit like marks at times. Funny moment when Marty Scurll and Kurt Angle spend the night playing card games at the Hall of Fame. Seemed pretty easy going, but next week looks like it'll be interesting.
