Minor news items that don't deserve a thread

Good news everyone, Test is happy and at peace in the afterlife. I was watching the sorely missed former Diva Kelly Kelly's awful reality show Wags, she and some others visited a psychic medium and she wanted to contact Test of all people. The medium said he's happy in the spirit world and he gives Kelly his blessing for her new marriage.

 

How does K2 have a reality show, and are they all the types of people you wish died in a barn fire?

Of course you fucking was Steve, you'd watch a test card with her on it for hours on end if you could!

Her shoot interview is fun if you want to hear Tommy Dreamer make fun of her for being stupid, ugly and Jewish (his words, not mine) for 2 hours.

Kel's is married to a former NHL hockey player so it's not a reality show just for her but other sports stars Wags. The medium guy has his own show on E! In the first episode he contacted Brie Bella's ex and said he approved of D-Bry and predicted her pregnancy. But going back to Wags it's scripted ala Total Divas but K2 gets quite a lot of screen time and on one episode she went to a wrestling convention. Some Divas turned up to her wedding too (Maryse) IIRC which aired on one of the episodes.

Yep, him and Ziggler were tag team champs in developmental yonks ago. I know he left WWE developmental and then returned, but bloody hell that'll be quite the long journey when he eventually joins a main roster.

According to Meltzer:

 

 

ITV in the U.K. is making plans for a television taping, which would be huge for that marketplace.

As things stand there is an apparent big budget taping scheduled for 11/1 in Media City, Salford Qays with the idea of copying the concept of the World of Sport show that was so big on television there in the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s before fading out around 1987, and leaving the scene dead except for American wrestling on less-watched channels.

As far as the talent goes, the U.K. scene is the best it’s been in decades.

This is not a done deal but there are definitely talks going on regarding the show and talent for that date and some advertising out. The taping will be free and they say the biggest stars in the U.K. will be there but tickets are limited.

The claim is they will be bringing afternoon family entertainment back to the U.K.

From the scattered info out, it appears this is a pilot being shot for ITV so it’s not a done deal to make this a regular television series, but that would be the goal.

The key for television, both good and bad, is that the pilot is supposed to be a high production shoot which means it’s not cheap programming, like wrestling was when it thrived on television, but U.K. Wrestling is big right now in the U.K. (It’s WWE’s No. 2 market) and they have the talent and there’s enough outside talent out there to do fantastic shows as some of the groups like Revolution Pro have shown, but it’s still like the U.S. where to most people it’s WWE or limited to hardcores because of the lack of television, but ITV is a tremendous platform
