TheScarlettChad Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I saw on X, The Getty best Brit pics showed a pic of Piper at the premire for this show. I have zero memory of it. Anyone remember it?  Every ep is on youtube. D-Lo Brown is on there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Guy Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Yes, IIRC it went out opposite Dr Who and got next to zero ratings. So much so that the final episodes were moved to the graveyard shift. Despite never having seen any of it I seem to remember Iwan Thomas winning the mens competition and James Hewitt being a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Yeah I never watched it but remember it being a thing. It was on fairly prime time on a Saturday early evening. I think Kate Lawler may have been a contestant on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted July 8 Paid Members Share Posted July 8 Yeah, it wasn't just "opposite Dr Who", it was "opposite the return of Dr Who after 16 years off screen". The joke at the time was that it featured neither celebrities nor wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuperBacon Posted July 8 Members Share Posted July 8 I would like a series where Astro reviews every single episode please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCJ Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I vaguely remember this and not being very impressed at the time either. The main highlight for me being the late Roddy Piper’s involvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 8 Paid Members Share Posted July 8 Lee Sharpe broke his ribs. None of them knew what they were doing. And none of the audience knew what they were watching. It was like shit Gladiators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 There was a D-Lo Brown vs. Joe Legend match at Universal Uproar in Coventry which was off the back of this show too I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I was just about to say that I remember at the time thinking it looked a bit like Gladiators. Did they actually wrestle or was it silly games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWA did the "Celebrity Carnage" tour around the dates the show was aired - the only link being the they booked Joe & D'lo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jesse Posted July 8 Paid Members Share Posted July 8 I have distinct memories of this being an Alex Shane joint, I at least remember him spending time at his training school talking about how he was bringing wrestling back to ITV and this might not be perfect but it was the start of a relationship. We all watched the first episode and I don't recall anyone watching the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
